Nice boar with the 300 HAM’R

Nice. Love a good/dead hog.
 
Good job. Lusting for that rifle!
 
Been loving this chambering for quite some time now. And I have been a big fan of the 6.8SPC. I actually own three of them.
Would like to own a HAM'r. --- pruhdlr
 
Both the 6.8 and the HAM’R work perfect for the hunting We do. The wife and I have hunted for years with the 6.8 with great results. I do like the availability of larger bullets with the HAM’R. 6.8 we use 115 and 120 grain and with the HAM’R I use 135 and 150 grain bullets. Both calibers are great!
 
Wondering what the velocity difference is between a 6.8SPC and a HAMR shooting a Barnes (or other) 110gr bullet ?? --- pruhdlr
 
This is from Wilson

Caliber: 300 HAM'R
Bullet: 110 gr. Barnes TSX
Velocity: 2600 fps
Muzzle Energy: 1651 ft-lbs.
Test Barrel Length: 18"


Caliber: 6.8 SPC (SPC II Chambers Only)
Bullet: 110 gr. Barnes Triple Shock X Bullet (TSX)
Velocity: 2550 fps
Muzzle Energy: 1588 ft-lbs.
Test Barrel Length: 16"
 
REALLY CLOSE !! The 300 can go heavier but not lighter and the 6.8 can go heavier but not lighter also. The 300 cuts a wider hole going in and has the potential to smash/penetrate bigger bone (momentum).
I still like the 300 and have many years expierance with several 6.8's in different actions,with different bbl lengths, shooting a wide variety of bullets,at hogs,deet,and yotes.
Watching the 300 closely. Thank you for your input sir. ---- SAWMAN
