215 Berger’s, glad I bough 500 of them when I did.

No kidding. I don't know if there is a harder bullet to find for the past 7 months.

I was finally able to get 500 156's a few weeks ago but 215 are unobtanium.

I buy everything in bulk since the last shortage a few years ago. The 215M primers I’m using may be harder to find then the bullets.

156 EOL with my 6.5 PRC at 2800. Did my final kestrel true up today. Excited to get to MT for another round of elk hunting.

Federal 215M have been available if you're quick. Matter of fact, I just bought a 1000 this morning from MidWay. They were only allowing 1 per person. They sold out in about 10 minutes.

As the title states what bullets are you shooting this season? I myself am trying hammer bullets for the first time in my 25-06 and 6.5 creedmoor for black bear and whitetail.
Hornady eld x 143 have treated me great over the years out of my 6.5 CM I have shot a handful of elk and big mule deer with them. My wife shot a nice 4x4 last year at 200 yds

According to Steve, 180 gr HH is more stable than 181 gr, I try both .
When I started shooting the hammers it was just the 181 and I've had great results with them. That particular rifle will probably never see anything else

2021 will be a first for me, all centerfire bullets fired will be hammers
I’m in the same boat this year, I’ve been happy so far. The only animal I’ve harvested is a coyote with my 25-06 and a 90gr absolute hammer. It did pretty well I feel it left a 2” exit hole and a caliber sized entry.

Hammer Hunters for my bolt guns, Lehigh Controlled Chaos(similar terminal performance to the Hammers) for my gas guns and Lehigh Xtreme Defense for my 45-70.

How have the controlled chaos bullets done on game? I'm hoping to find out how these have done on Elk and Deer...
