Ooh fun
It's fascinating to watch you carefully tune these all copper bullets. I've never had the opportunity to try them, but here recently, watching your success is making me curious if I might be able to find similar results with some careful tinkering. Course mine has a larger project attached if I actually do find they shoot, but hey, one step at a time. Good video as always!
Give them a try
Just picked up a LH Weatherby backcountry 2.0 in 280ai. Looking forward to autumn.
Oh nice
Great group, what kind of velocity were you getting?
How about windage? Or if you want to stretch it out to a mile or 2000yards? Im sure the 300PRC would out perform the 7PRC.
Does your new Weatherby in the .340 still come with the long "lead" as the older Weatherby's have ? Also, what overall length did you seat the 220 gr Hammer bullet to ?
Not sure what you mean by long "lead" I seated these to max magazine length which is 3.700"
👀 my man.. nice group!
I use .300 wm for elk and I know the 340 is up there closer to 375 but what would you say is max effective range on elk/moose. I’ve never shot or owned a .340 but I like exploring calibers I’m not that familiar with.
I'm not a fan of long distance hunting... but with the 340 Weatherby your max distance is 650 yards with a mono bullet. The energy isn't the issue... it's the velocity of it expanding.
@@ReloadingWeatherby yea that makes sense. The furthest we have to shoot at elk here in AZ is about 400 so it’s usually not an issue.
Great day!!
Yep
A great and very informative video! But something to keep in mind and a lot of mistakes that first time Americans make when traveling to Africa is taking rifles, chambered in obsolete or proprietary cartridges. It is very common when you arrive that your ammo will not. And I promise you are not going into few, if any gun shops in Africa that will carry ammunition for those types of cartridges. It might seem boring but take a 30-06 or 300 Winchester magnum for plains game. You won’t have problems finding ammo for either. And for dangerous game take a 375 H&H a 416 Remington magnum or a 458 Lott and forget about it. And whatever you do, do not take something that you cannot shoot extremely well. “Better a hit with a 375 that I miss with a 460.”!
Thanks for commenting
What is the velociity ?
I just did 375rum 275gr hammer bullets and it's sweet.
You absolutely need a better front rest, and a Garmin You also need to test and see if your gun likes front pressure point or no pressure point. Free float or no free float...
Great to see you found a bullet your rifle likes, great groups
Thanks
I personally prefer heavy for caliber bullets, lol
How heavy?
Are you crimping those Hammers?
No
@ReloadingWeatherby , you should, it may tighten up those groups and give you some better ES and SD numbers. Good luck and stay safe!!! 😉😉😉 BTW. Hammer forum has a complete sticky on crimping and adjusting the Lee FCD for Hammer bullets.
@@nicholasbarcomb2324 I have a Lee crimp on the way
I would hate to get on the bad side of that other guy. He aims for the nuts apparently 😂
How far?
100 yards
Cant deny those groups! My 6.5/06 shoots 160g RN really really well. But its a short range bullet. I have a 170 Cast I want to try too. But again, Short range but can you imagine a 170g properly alloyed bullet @ 19/2000 fps it would probably penetrate YARDS!
How far off the lands did you seat them?
10 thou
@@ReloadingWeatherby I’m playing with 150gr ABLR’s with staball 6.5 and finding they don’t like much jump in my 270 rem 700 either
What #'s on that Leupold? Looks close to my 3.5x10x50
It seems like it's a 3.5x12x40
That glossy queen is darn purdy!
Hats off to you for getting that great of group with that shoulder cannon.
Thanks
3 round cloverleafs are ALWAYS a good thing… BUT… I have been burned way too many times making load development decisions for factory hunting rifles based on a random 3rd group. These days I just run a 9rd ladder in 0.5gr increments to find pressure, pick a safe charge, then load up a 6rd sample. Shoot 3, cool, shoot 3 to build a 6rd group. There is roughly an order of magnitude more meaning in a 5-6rd group compared to a 3rd group and mean radius is a much better performance metric than extreme spread. Cheers!
This isn't a 1 and done thing. I plan to test these loads more
The 340 is just super leathal with for any game animal on earth with the right bullets . The 340 with a heavy jacketed 300 grain round nose would zip through an elephants skull or penitrate a cape Buffalo length wise. 250 grain Nosler partitions will kill the toughest African plains game at longish hunting ranges.
Coal???
I seated it 10 thou off the lands
3/4 moa with a 220gr hammer, start applying for the Bison hunt up here. Once in a lifetime draw.
I'm already putting in for Bison in Utah.
That's a great group!
Thanks
I am going to have to try 4350s in my 270 I just have such good luck with the 4831 I haven't bothered
I've always had great success with IMR 4350
I am very happy for you that you found at least one recipe for each rifle. Please wish me luck cuz I am still looking for a good recipe.
Good luck
Hammer bullets are absolutely NOT known for their accuracy. You are wrong. Hammer bullets are known for producing higher velocities due to how the grooves are cut into the bullets. This process produces reduced pressure and potentially greater speed.
I haven't found a gun that doesn't like Hammer bullets. Easiest bullet to load for in my experience. ua-cam.com/users/shorts6h_2FTVhcUI?si=iHfAQCyegxovFEPY ua-cam.com/users/shorts2Pb8A0MmuIA?si=Wk0fCJpRsTPGg-Ub
Hammer bullets are known for accuracy. They aren't known for being good big game hunting rounds. An ELD-X is a better choice for big game than a Hammer. I would say target shooting long range is what Hammer is known for doing good.
@@BigTimberLodge you are wrong. Go talk to there owner.
That is such a beautiful rifle .
Yep
@@ReloadingWeatherby Is that your Elk rifle now :)
@@Therionx Possibly
Is that one of those witt machine clamp on muzzle brakes on the .270?
I'm not sure...
Right on!! Please post your OAL and velocity specs. The load development is worth another vid here!!!

.270 win…. Like a sore d!ck, you just can’t beat it!!!!
bra nok til på jakt
Nice groups by the 340 Weatherby! 270 Win is still the G.O.A.T
Thanks for watching
Lol .270win is like .30-06 for women
@@AlaskanBallisticshow do you even compare? The 270 is better ballistically and can kill most of the same game. But I still prefer the power of the 30-06. The 30-06 has taken everything from rabbit to elephant.😂
@@jam5287 barnes has a 130gr .308 diameter bullet. I can only get it to go about 3175 in 270, but I can get it to go 3325 in .30-06. 150 fps makes up for the higher b.c. of the .270 out to reasonable hunting distances. Down here at sea level, you can't stabilize the heavier bullets in 270. But 165 in a .30-06 is ideal all over.
@@AlaskanBallistics that’s also because 130-150 used to be considered heavy for the 270. Where 130 is insanely light for the 30-06. Go down to 110 or even 95 grain ttsx. The 270 can truck along anywhere from 3,300-3,700 fps with those bullet weights.
Great to see your results. I was also a little surprised. I had a .338 Win Mag I’d just about given up on. Had it out to the range, was getting usual crappy results. Two acquaintances wanted to shoot the rifle, and they both shot sub minute groups…get this, they had no experience using the bags!!! The rear bag just happened to be high enough to lock on with a bit of downward pressure, and otherwise they were both gripping the forend with left hand, a conventional rifle hold (but forearm supported on the front rest)…..well it turned out that was the key! Using that technique I got really good results with that rifle and several other hard kickers.
Good to hear
The brain freeze comment in the background😂
Lyman.
How many yards
100 yards
NO NO NO , old cartridges are no good . Cartridges have to have creadmore of prc on the headstamp ! For instance a 300 WBY with a 180 gr Nosler Partition at 3300 fps ( as mine does ) would not kill a sick house cat . 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣………
Put some more on this how was it reloaded powder ect....❤
Full length video premieres in 40 minutes on my channel
What was the velocity?
Need to test it
@@ReloadingWeatherby looking forward to it. Just started reloading and my first cartridge is 270. So far 55.5gr staball 6.5 with 130 ttsx is getting the velocity out of 20" barrel, 3011 is my average.
Nembak berapa ?
Velocity?
3150 FPS
