One thing about the new Hammer Bullets

[quigley257]

The new bullets appear to all be much longer with higher BCs and will probably be single feed only……, or by looking at the mods to the magazine in the picture they could then be fed but with a max capacity of 2 or 3, one in the chamber and 1 or 2 in the mag but you have to very careful of tips being damaged under recoil. Some other mono MFGs have magazine feed style projectiles and also have single feed projectiles. Personally I don't want to modify a mag by cutting out part of the front wall of the mag. JMO

It's possible. I shoot some CEB bullets that are single feed only.

All my rifles are factory offerings so my mag length limitations will probably make these bullets a "no go" for me.

You can see in the picture the modification they made to the mag. McGuire also makes some single feed.

I shot a handful of different wildcats out of ARs that required modified mags. It's not a big deal to notch the nose to increase the max OAL. For a while, Cavity Back Bullets was selling pre-modified mags for a pretty fair price.

Lots of other bullets require a longer than normal OAL, so I'm not sure why it's different with Hammers compared to any of the other brands of extremely long bullets.

Well the bullet in those pictures is protruding beyond the mag. How do you get the mag into the mag well without damaging the tip and then you also have damage to tips under recoil? We just need to wait and see what they say and instructions for use. Too many unknowns at this point.

The easy solution is to just not use those bullets in a gun they don't fit in. It's not an issue with the bullets, it's just a limitation of some guns.

I think this is a new line, not a replacement for the current Hammer Hunters, Absolute Hunters, and Topped Hammer Hunters.

So will the older lines still be available?

I would assume so. But I have no skin in the game. I would think so, as they are very popular with a lot of people.

 

[waspocrew]

Weird. Sure are dragging these out.

 

[fseaman.js]

I look forward to the details.

Maybe like a Barnes bore rider so the bearing surface is towards the rear?

 

[VALKYRIETP]

Remember, HAMMERS ROCK! SPEED KILLS!
I was tending towards a bore rider type also

So can you give us a release date? Or should we assume this teasing will continue for a while and we should spend our dollars elsewhere?

With SHOT show right around the corner, just guessing that's when we'll find out.
