Hammer bullets?

[brockel]

If it wasn’t so close to season I’d be ordering a few 123 absolute hammers to see how they shoot in wife’s 6.5-06 and my 6.5 Sherman

Don't have a dial ordered for the 300 RUM/181 Hammer Hunters yet so I'm tempted to try some 178 Absolutes for speed. They work in my 1:10....will call Steve

Not a .270 but the .124 Hammer Hunters are my all around go to bullet for my 6.5CM.

I'm thinking I'll try these out in my 6.5 CM this winter. If 3-400 fps is truly achievable, my Kimber will spit these out at 32-3300 fps.

Edit: just saw these are also offered in 140 grain .284s. Yeesh, I could legitimately get 33-3400 fps out of my 22" Mountain Rifle.

181g HH impact velocity around 2800fps. Off shoulder exit. Dropped him like a sack of potatoes. Big hole but very little meat wasted from blood shot. Only lost the immediate meat around the hole.

In what cartridge? 7rm or wsm (assuming not enough case capacity in 7-08).

That the Sherman?

That the Sherman?

Yep, plus I shot a mature mule deer with it. I have a message out to Steve. There is more to the story but I want to talk with him first.

Another bites the dust to 143 Hammers

 

[JLS]

Muley buck vs 124 Hammer Hunter at 396 yards out of the 6.5 Creedbro. 5 steps and a 50 yard tumble down the hill.

As per usual, no bullet recovery.

Antelope don’t like 143 Hammers...

 

[brockel]

Been seeing a big group of does in a stubble field of some block management every night so decided tonight I’d make a play on them. 120 yard army crawl to get 250 yards from this doe that had 6 young bucks messing with her. She bang flopped. Really digging the lack of meat damage 338 win mag 213 grain hammer hunter.
