Hammer bullets

[Blackdirt Cowboy]

Here is a bit of a different question out of curiosity.

What are y'all's experience with the Hammer Hunters say past 5 or 6 hundred yards with respect to accuracy.….So, do they begin to fall off rapidly?

I shot my 7 RUM with the 143 grain hammers out to 800 yards so far. It shot them into 4" groups. I haven't gone past that, yet.

Nice new fad. Just remember the great lead hoax. In California you may not use lead. Death by a thousand cuts. Anti-gun Democrats love copper bullets...for now.

If that isn't the top, its near the top of the dumbest posts I've seen on internet gun forums in the past 10yrs.

Here are two 3 shot groups that I shot at 800 yards with a 7 MAX and 169 gr hammer hunters.

I haven't had an issue with accuracy at any distance with the three variations I have tried. I have not shot them beyond 1000 yds though.

143hh out of a 7mag running 3208 fps several whitetails and one bull elk. I really like the hammers.

143 hh out of my 7mag running at 3200 fps has worked awesome on several whitetail and one 5x6 bull elk.

Any experiences with Hammer bullets in a 35 Whelen? How similar to a .358 Winchester?

Anyone have a load for 28nos shooting out to 1000 ?

124 gr HH out of a 6.5 Creedmoor devastating on whitetail, I hunt in west Texas where they're not big at all and it has performed great x 4

I've loaded those into three local guys for deer and antelope in Alabama and New Mexico. They work great. What I've tried to talk them into is shooting the 99 grain HH in the Creedmoor. 3300 fps is very doable. Lighting strike on whitetails.

Thanks. Got plenty of VARGET. Went with the 8 twist.

Recoil with VV? Could not tell the difference, maybe because I am running a 5 port SRS Ti Pro in the 06. Only ran 4 powders through the 06, N540 for the 124HH, H4350 for the 166HH at mid 3000, and N560 and RL17 for the 215 Berger Hybrids both at 2830.

I also run a radial brake but the recoil using 151 gr HH's and VV powder felt less than the 125HH's and Varget

85gr HH @ 3402 fps out of a 20" barrel on my CM did the trick in November....
