And I cook fish in bacon grease until it's golden brown with a sprig of dill so what's your point?

Skip the dill, otherwise I'm on board.
What time is dinner?
You just show up and I'll take to cookin
Can I come? I'll bring fresh red fish and speckled trout!

MR.Bean.... my point is....
Aluminum is better..... more durable.... and more importantly... turned concentric with bullet body...... making it a more balanced and aerodynamic in flight.....
no need to install/deform poly tips..... or install pre damaged polymer pointing tips....more shooting time....
You are in the wrong thread Neighbor, this is the Hammer HHT tread not the aluminum tipped bullet thread

Well done Steve, Very Interesting!!!! Product development was always exciting. I will be making up a 180 Grn Bullet load for my 300 Weatherby Mag , and I have never shot a Mono bullet. The game will be Elk in Penn. Moderate ranges. 300 Yard should be max. Do I need to reduce the starting loads by about 10 percent and seat the bullet 15 to20 Thousands off the lands ?? More than that??

We're all real happy for you, Bill!
Late to the party (as usual).
Yes, there is now a load data spreadsheet for the HHTs. It's with the Hammer Hunter Load Data and Absolute load data on the Hammertime Forum. It's called Hammer HHT Load Data (surprise!).
If there is interest, I can start a thread on this Forum. We already have over 300 pages of data on this Forum covering Hunters and Absolutes.
Since the HHTs are relatively new, load data is trickling in and being added as I get it. The data volume will grow quickly, as many are shooting/testing the new bullets.

You aked for my point remember....
I am suggesting a better pointing method...
Your point is absolutely irrelevant and meaningless in this thread

We are intentionally not using aluminum. We have machined tips out of copper and aluminum in the past. We could not get them to work well for terminal performance. They are too hard and will kick out to one side causing the bullet to open unevenly, resulting in the bullet being misdirected or even tumbling. Not good and one of the reasons that we have said in the past that Hammers would never have a tip. This time is different than anything we tried in the past. Has to do with tip design and how it marries up to the bullet. Unlike other tipped bullets, these do not deflect, even on drastic angled heavy bone impacts. This Hammer HHT design has actually enhanced terminal performance at low to mid range impact velocities.
We just had our own mold made and will be sourcing the tips locally. This will greatly reduce the possibility of deformed tips. We are in the process of determining the best material for producing the tips. As always, terminal performance will dictate what material is used for tip production. @fordy will be laying these into a pile of animals as soon as we can get them in his hands. As always, we are tasking him with finding a way to make the bullet/tip fail. He was unable to get the current tip material to fail, so the standard is set.
We have sourced a company to design and manufacture a machine that will install the tips. Initial delivery estimate is spring of 2024. We could have waited another year to announce the HHT, after the year of testing we did on animals. We decided to bring it to market in the best way possible now.
