thanks--hope to finish the build today if the gas tube and block come in--can't wait to fire it.

It's windy and rainy, so probably not going to get much meaningful info initially. The more I work with prospective loads; the more I realize the Ham'r is more or less very similar to 7.62x 39; except (hopefully) noticeably more accurate with a better trajectory.
Call me crazy--one of the main reasons I decided to try the Ham'r is that I'm real curious to see how Berger's 115 gr FBHP does in it--it's the best bullet I've tried in the 30 BR so far that isn't an exotic custom-made bullet.
