Hammer Hunter light or heavy for caliber?

[TXMedic]

I load
14 HH for both 6.5 CM and 6.5 PRC
177 HH for 7 LRM
180 HH for 300 WM

You mean the 140gr for PRC?

They list the 264 Cal-139g Shock Hammer for 1:8 twist

And the 264 Cal-137g Hammer Hunter for 1:6.5 twist.

I have a 22" 1:8 twist PRC and am looking at hammer bullets. Any suggestions for medium game?

Hey Northpark, Hey could you pm me? I have some questions for you.

I used 143 HH in the 7stw for last years hunts. I used to use 180 Bergers and have also used 140 Barnes tsx. I've shot Elk and Antelope with all three.
I put the hammers on a 1-10 scale, barnes to berger, at about a 6. They come apart and tear sh@@ up but you still have the solid body remaining and going deeper. The problem is, it's just the straight body with no pedals. The upside for me and my gun was the hammers wouldn't copper foul, at all.

I’m also curious.

I have been loading the 181 shock hammers in my Tikka 300 WM but have been considering bumping up to a heavier bullet. Especially since I can’t seem to get my hands on faster powers, but have plenty of H1000.

I don't get caught up in weight.
I run the ballistics for 3-4 weights and I pick the one with the most retained velocity at 500 yards.
If I have twins at 500 yards I will pick the heavier weight between the two.
I run TTSX, LRX, HH, and Edge TLR.

Any chance you could share this with another fella? Very keen on putting together a load along those lines from a 26" barreled 300 old timer
