Hammer bullets WTH

[Petey308]

notice how he has never responded when asked for pictures or further info

I noticed he posted the thread only 6 hours ago and implied he's still currently in Mexico hunting. Perhaps he hasn't had an opportunity to reply since

This is why I came to this site! People trying to help when something goes awry. Obviously op has valid frustrations but with many here it will surely get sorted out and we will end up with an outcome that will benefit us

Running the 170HHT at 3220fps is way faster than posted loads on HammerTime so I am certain @GLTaylor would like to have this load for spreadsheet.

Apples to Carambola here. Clearly missing vs impacts on an animal. Unless I am missing something?

Yes, he is joking

Yes, this what they call click bait.

I bet still processing his kill. We all know it takes time to do that plus maybe celebration dinner. Not everybody lives on their phone. I hate the darn things so texts take time sometimes. Me? Give him slack and hopefully more details will come.

I like to shoot my hammers fast!!! 143 in 28 nosler 3520 fps does really well. My 25-06ai with 103 hammers at 3450fps has killed everything I have shot at!

I just thought I'd stomp the nest. I'm in Mexico mule deer hunting and my 7 prc is loaded with 170 hht . I just thought I'd try them being I have never killed anything with hammer bullets and this will be my last time ever shooting these things! Shot a buck at 318 had to shoot him twice and could have used another. Shot buck at 785 he needed another bullet is running 3220 FPS!
Going back to my Berger's and Barnes !
Yes all well placed shots! Just my personal opinion I'm out!

Try some 175gr maker t-rex you won't be sorry!

To the OP, if you have any 92s, 131s, 145s, or 181s, I'll take those poor performers off your hands!

I have some 169s that are a long for my current twist if your interested.

I'd like to know how he is getting 3220 fps with a 170 Gr HHT and not blowing the primer out lol.

I am using it in a 7 PRC and start really getting pressure at anything over 3050 fps. Have killed everything from elk to oryx with no problem.

yes I've been hunting all day and I'm not sitting in front of a screen judging things that I know nothing about like many. If you didn't marry your high school sweetheart there's probably 4 or 5 guys who didn't like your wife.
If you have not killed anything with these bullets PM each other please.
So far I've been very disappointed in these bullets. I'm not a copper fan but these grouped the best at 1000 than any others I had shot. I know the guys who build these bullets have thousands of rounds and hours in them . They hit where I aimed and they blew straight through with a pretty big exit wound.if that's what they are supposed to do great .
Just nothing fell dead like I'm use to.
I knew most would not agree but it reminded me the first time I walked through the cow pasture with my dad and he said don't kick the wet ones he was right . Thanks have a good evening!

Might want to try Hornady, 180 gr. ELD-M's or, 175 gr. Elite Hunter / 184 gr. Hybrid, Berger's,.. in the 7 PRC

So, incredible accuracy, blew straight through the animal, left giant nasty exit wounds, but didn't bang flop and therefore shall never be used again?
