Pretty much anything! Ha! I like running 196HH in 300WM at 3150! You never know if you run into a runaway freight train...

Not to derail the thread but I like the 199HH in my .300WM at 3090! Kills all it gets pointed at.
I hope I have the same results. I went with the 168 HHT though. Should get that bullet cruising out of my 300 Win. Will start with H4350.
I just received my starter 15 rounds of 182 HHT's. My son's 300 WM Bergara didn't like the Bergers I shoot and a number of other bullets. The groups looked more like a shotgun blast than a group. The groups are the first 5 shots of the HHT'S with Reloder 22. Only 78 yards (what I had to work with) with wind and a shaky table. The next picture is my 300 WM with H4831. I am very pleased as you can see all 10 shots would go into less than an inch group. Now I will try a better bench and increase velocity with adding some H1000 in the mix. It will be a couple of weeks before I can update.

I do the light/fast thing with Hammers in some guns, but nothing replaces a dump truck.
181HH at 2900 from a 30-06 is my fail-proof load, everything it hits it lays out flat. I can't think of anything I wouldn't use it on in a pinch, it's the perfect back-up rifle.

Anyone with on-game results with the HHT? Looking to try the 25 cal 127gr HHT, but info on any HHT would be great.
A buddy and my son used my 7 PRC this past year to take two cow elk. It's shooting the 170 Gr HHT at 3050 fps average. My buddy shot his cow at 575 yards and my son shot his at 820 yards. Both animals didn't go over 20 feet. Correction, the bullet on the cow at 575 yards exited. The 820 yard shot was a quartering too shot and we never found that bullet inside but we didn't search.

I killed 14 deer and my sons killed 6 with my setup. I'm super happy with the results. I ordered some for my 7mm-08's and 6.5 CM's.

Typical bloods trails if you need one.

Good to hear! I've always envied high density whitetail states where you can shoot multiple deer in a year. You get more on game shooting experience in a single year than I get in 10+!

I ended up using the 267 HHT out of my 338 RUM this past fall. Ended up taking 2 cow elk, a whitetail buck, and doe antelope. All of them were shot at roughly 400-420 yards. All pass throughs.
At that distance, I can't say they worked any better or less than any other projectile. Load work up was pretty straight forward though and was easy to get dialed in.
I had plans to use the 75 gr HHT out of my 6 ARC for doe antelope, but I couldn't find an accurate load prior to the season starting. My 6 ARC stacks 108 ELDMs and 75 gr Vmax factory ammo, so I was disappointed in the HHT. Maybe I'll revisit the project sometime.

Push them. I'll bet they settle down.
