Hammer bullets

[JMW67]

I have a 264 mag that was rebarreled with a new stainless 1/8 twist Bbl this past summer. My bullet of choice for elk for years has been the Barnes 120gr TSX, never failed me. Problem is this new Bbl refuses to shoot the Barnes accurately no matter what powder or seating depth. Contacted Hammer & they promised me their bullet would shoot accurately or my money back. I reluctantly shelled out $120 with shipping for 100 6.5 121gr Hammers. Using my load of Rel 33 seated .020 off the lands I emediately goy a three shot group right at 1/2". I was happy to say the least. Used this 121 gr Hammer bullet in this 264 to take my very mature elk this past season. An off hand shot at about 80 yds gave me a complete pass thru both front shoulders & a DRT result.

worth every penny and then some?

I don't know about the 110's but I just put together a 300WSM with the 124 Hammers and its a freaking laser beam

What speed are you getting with the 124??
I just built a load, in 5 rounds, with the 152 Hammer Hunters for a Kimber Montana 300 wsm with RL 16 and they are zipping along at 3375 fps. Shoot outstanding as well.

200 yard group this morning with bullets 6,7,8 out a new box.

I've changed several of my rifles over to Hammers since first trying them and liking the terminal results and the ease of load development:

98 gr Sledge Hammers in 257 Roberts and 25-06
121 Hammer Hunters in 264 WM
124 Hammer Hunters in 6.5 CM
143 Hammer Hunters in 280 Rem
131 Hammer Hunters in 280 Ackley
181 Hammer Hunters in 300 Wby

And currently developing a load with 44 Hammer Hunters in my 220 Swift

I loaded light in my 6.5 CM and getting 2650FPS. Only looking to shoot 300yds.

Just received my first box of HH in 177 to try in my 28 nosler. Lots of 7mm's out there-- by chance are you loading for 28 Nosler? Looking for some starting load data-- particularly powder choice and seating depth (jump). Would appreciate any info if anyone cares to share....?

It was a 28 Nosler. PM me - I'll look up the data tonight and get back to you. We used retumbo, but I can't remember the details.

Man I really need to try out these hammers in my 300 win mag

 

[adk hunter]

181 HH in the .300 win mag. And yes you do!!!

181s shoot well in my 300 Wby

Anyone tried loading them in 30.06? Thinking about getting the dust off the old boy and give it a try.

I've thought about it, but haven't gotten to it yet. YOU should do it and let me know

That was my very first rifle and bought it used back in '83. Might be able to get some use from it.
