I think they got it this summer some time I remember them posting it. The good news is you will be able to get the absolute hammers first. I got a great load for the 124 and now have to redo for the 123gr

Who and where is what I'm looking for....first I'm hearing it! Thanks
I ordered over the phone directly from Steve at Hammer bullets. If you're not in a hurry I'd wait till the Canadian supplier is announced. Shipping is a killer to get the bullets to us up here. With that said it was very fast as I had my bullets to Manitoba in 4 days. Now if the windchill wasn't in the -30's I could shoot. To cold for me!
Thanks...I will call Steve...good shooting! same here today....heading to -36 tonight... misery loves company!! I had a five hour return trip drive today to pick up the rug from my Avatar...-28 winds 25 kph... visibility about 100 ft in many areas. Normally take 3 hours! Got my best buds Deer head same time. He figures he can Sneak his in before his wife see's it....only head he has...wonder how long it's going to take? LMAO

I shoot the 121 gr Hammers out of my 6.5 CM with H4350. I can use RL15 or IMR 4350 in a a pinch and accuracy is still sub moa. Weatherby Mark V ultra lightweight.
Dad and I have shot 2 mule deer, 2 antelope and 1 Barbary sheep this season with Hammer bullets. They are super accurate and so far they seem to do some pretty wicked damage on game.

Depending on the distances you're negotiating don't rule out the Sierra 140 SBT Game King. I currently have 2 loads worked up (and proven) for my Creedmoor......one with the aforementioned Sierra and one with the Berger 140 vld-h. The Sierra's actually shoot tighter for me and consistently under a half-minute at 200 yards.

Some guys are visual. This should help with how the 130 OTM works...
532 yards
637 yards
391 yards
454 yards
250-260ish yards
My pronghorn was the only animal to take a step after the shot, just because he was on a full run when I hit him.

I looked up the Berger 130 grain OTM AR and it say nothing about being a hunting bullet but I guess the pics above prove otherwise.
