hammer hunter any good.

what do you all think about barnes ttsx vs hammer hunters wich is better.

Hammers. I've shot both and the Hammer Hunter outperforms (by a wide margin) the Barnes in every instance. Plus, the Barnes are almost the same cost as the Hammers now.

The only problem with Hammer is pricey, I shot a Ram at 250 yards, that Ram just dropped. I shot an Elk at 500 yards in the neck and the elk couldn’t move forward. , the Ram I use 180 and the elk I use 170 HH with new tip.
HH bullets is much easier to develop load work, you need to try it.

I prefer Hammers.

Hammers by a wide margin for me.

Hammers, tighter group higher vel. and they slap.

I bet I've killed a dozen deer, half dozen antelope, 3 or 4 elk, a bear, and a moose with Hammer Hunters. I'm very happy with them.

Make sure you pick one that matches your rifling twist. Most of those big 30s are 1:10 so you're looking at a 180gr HH. I bet out of 300 Weatherby they're going to be moving like 3300-3400 fps. Though my experience is with 300winmag at around 3200fps

For whitetails I don't think it matters at all.

You're shooting a 30 caliber magnum at something very easy to kill.

Build your load around that and it will certainly work on deer also.

Also, if your gun is a 10-twist, choose the hammer bullet that needs an 11-twist to stabilize. Fast and very stable is good with copper.

I've been impressed enough with them in my girlfriend's 7mm-08. 120s going about 2960 and everything we've shot has only gone 20-40yds with lung/heart shots. I settled on them as everything else shot 2+ MOA groups in the old m77. 120 hammers are just about 1.3moa averages in that gun.
