So you guys made me start comparing. I started checking case capacity first thinking there would be big differences in favor of the RM but my books weren't showing that based on same type bullets. Check around the 11 min mark of this vid and you will see what I mean. I have huge respect for Guy Miner as we have chatted a number of times on the Nosler forum and I find him to be reasonably unbiased. He typically favors whatever works best for it's given purpose. As of yet I have not finished watching this video but thought it was appropriate given the nature of you guys debating of the two cartridges.
RJ. Have you ever loaded any Hammer bullet's for your PRC's? I have a bunch that need that 1-8" twist and I don't own a rig to put em in. Got for a buddy thinking I could push the envelope of his RM but they didn't stabilize. Cheers
My discussions with Guy were mostly about the new Ramshot Grand powder as there was/is very little data published on it, in particular with the 6.8 Western AND Hammer bullets. He helped me big time develop my load.

The ones I got were HHT's 170's very long and heavy. I used JBM stability calculator before purchasing that indicated they were on the edge with a 1-9" twist. Hammer specified 1-8" for them but I thought they may work. They just key holed. The velocity was good though. But that dog wasn't gonna hunt. They are exceptional in the right conditions. Just stupid price at the time I bought them. They have dropped in price now but with current cross border I have no idea what the end cost will be.
