Announcing the New Hammer HHT

[RockyMtnMT]

Any chance of a .308 120 gr. - 130 gr. HHT in the future?

We are planning to. With the current tip and hollow point design we were not able to get the lighter pills to perform to our standards at low velocity impacts. We are now waiting for a new tip mold to get finished. This tip is larger to work in a larger hollow point and should remedy the low velocity impacts. This same tip will allow us to continue expanding the Hammer HHT lineup into the big bores.

I should add that @fordy is currently testing this design in .338 210gr prototype with very good results.

Did some load development with the 115 HHT in my 25 Creedmoor yesterday with RL 16 and H4350. Did charge weights in 1/2 grain increments from 36gr-40.5gr. This bullet is pretty long and the boat tail is passed the shoulder. At 39grains the load starts getting a little compressed and can't seat deeper than -.20 off. With both powders, but more so with RL16. But I was impressed with the 10 shot group by both powders. I think I am going to go with H4350. I am testing out 40.2gr of H4350 and 40gr RL16 this morning. Also the Garmin Xero is pretty awesome.

An moa target with a ladder covering 300 fps! Looks like you are going to have a very nice load.

I didnt think about it covering 300 fps, but you are right. It is going to be a nice load. Was hoping it would be a little faster, but I never hit pressure. I don't think the animals will notice 100 fps difference anyways.

Just got back from the range and here are the results of 40.2 gr of H4350. I think I have a good load here.

Gday
338, 210
@ just under 2400 impact
This pill has a lot going for it

That liver was popped out the shoulder on a fairly front on shot

Pill exited the opposite back leg
Paunch pic was exit of shank entry into paunch around 3 inches
Tested down to 1610 impact on light resistance & preformed well , not that i like these impacts but it passed with flying colours for those impacts

Cheers
