Hammer bullets

[Jason Snyder]

I have never shot anything with the tipped past 300 yards so I don't have any experience with lower impact velocity with them.

I shot a mule deer at 410 yards with my 6.5, 124 HH. He was stumbling down the hill within two steps and dead within 10 seconds.

Any more on-game feedback on these tipped Hammers? Did that softer batch of copper come in? Looking for something for my 7mm-08 for mtn goat out to 500 yds. May end up going with a 145 gr Speer hot cor SP or 140 gr ballistic tip, but wanted to try out some of the 118gr HHTs and see how fast I can get them going.

Shot a deer at 150 yards last season with a 6.5 PRC and a HHT, worked as expected, dead within 20 feet.
After shooting them to 800 yards, the BC is way off, and I’d keep impact velocity between 2000-2200 FPS, just my opinion.

Check out the Hammer forums. There are some kill reports of the 118. I think I’m going to load some up for my wife’s cow elk hunt this year. She needs light recoil… or just use 556 77TMK… but she likes the idea of no lead in the meat.

I’ve killed two elk with the 125 HHT in my 6.5 PRC. I’ve got no complaints - they group well, are always available, and do their job. Are the listed B.C. off? Yup, but I still verify drops at actual distance anyways, so not hard to reverse engineer it.

I agree with you. Everything I’ve shot with hammers have dropped.
