I shot an elk at 500 yards last year, the HH 177 grain, went through!
I just shot a bear with the 182 HHT. Posted about it here: https://hammerbullets.com/hammertime/threads/hht-terminal-performance.894/Anyone with experience with the newer hammer hht tipped bullet?
That is what they call a pencil hole I presume?
124’s at 3800? Sounds like the perfect coyote load to me!Any chance I am the gas bag? Here is my post:
“I have shot two whitetail does with Hammer bullets out of a 300 RUM. One was with a 181 gr HH at about 3275 fps and the other was with a 124 gr HH at about 3800 fps. Both were around 200 yards, hit behind the shoulder, broadside. Neither dropped in its tracks, but neither went too far. The damage to the lungs on both was significant. I plan to keep using them. I hope to have a report on how the 199 gr HH works on elk out of a long-throated 30 Nosler next fall.
BTW - I think the 124 gr HH is going to be the MPBR bullet in my Remington 700 KS. It is +/- 2” out to just past 300 yards. I am pretty sure I could get over 4000 fps with Retumbo (last reading was 3956 and I went up from there) but my groups were much better at 3800 fps with H4831sc (not H1000, as I originally posted, so
edited to correct the powder).”
As others have mentioned, Steve has been very quick to respond to questions I have had. Even though I know it is a small company and he probably is the customer service department, I was still impressed that the owner addressed my questions.
I like looking at pictures, however to say it didn't happen if there aren't pictures is calling people liars. If that's where we're at, I'll pull out with 30 years of mono experience after this post.
Monos do a great job of destroying tissue to end life, doesn't matter what it looks like. Animals cease to live. They allow shot presentations from many angles within hunting ranges, not long range sniping ranges which has become a buzz word for hunting. Manufacturers are as much involved with this as anything other than the Internet to brag about longer and further.
When folks choose to hunt ranges longer than monos are typically effective, then don't bitch about monos being a bad choice. It's that hunter's choice. If the bullet doesn't work as expected (not promised, no manufacturer of any bullet does that) then maybe the shot choice is the issue not the bullet. I would not choose to destroy meat with a frangible bullet. Interesting how manufactures offer velocity minimum's for expansion but don't say anything about how much waste their bullet will create. If a frangible bullet is the only way to get game from the ranges being hunted, I'll get closer with a better bullet choice. Kind of the idea of a hunt.
Monos of any design are ahead of the game, as the endgame is going away from frangible bullets. Enjoy them while you can and keep posting those pictures...
Uh- I must have missed something. Who is calling who a liar? If I somehow insinuated that that I apologize and did NOT mean to indicate that. ...Very well said.
