Does HT have room for another passionate faction of bullet lovers? We already have the "if it is old, lead, and cheap just shoot it" group, the "HT is a Nosler loyal forum" group, the "just shoot mono-metal" group, and the "Hammer lover" group. Is there room for a 5th group if these turn out to be any good?

Never heard of but that was a cool performance post. Would the multi curvy depressions still identify as cannelure...

I have nearly a full box I got in a purchase of a lot of bullets. If I can ever find some H1000 I plan to test these in my 28 Nosler.
I read some guys are claiming they act like the hammers if they impact with a high enough velocity and the pedals will break off. And other guys claiming the pedals stay together more like a Barnes so kind of opposite ends of the spectrum there. Not really sure what to think.

He sent me some load data for the 125 Bulldozer in 6.5 Creedmoor back in November which was just a screenshot of Barnes data otherwise I haven't jumped off the Hammer Bandwagon.
Patriot Valley Arms also makes copper hunting bullets.
Badlands Precision claims 1900fps as min velocity for expansion
Hammers says 1800fps as min except the bigger hollow point bullets may be much lower
PVA suggest 1600-1700fps for min expansion velocity

Sounds about right 2000fps min ?
about 1992 barns X where tested on nilgai on the ranch , and we had problems with the X with PSI and expansion,
most penciled through unless heavy bone was hit @ 50-400 meters
we used .300 win & wetherby , 8mm mag ( velocity wasn’t the issue)
barns regrouped and returnEd with the TSX with lands , the problem with pressure and fouling cured
so imo a mono without lands, I would be hesitant to purchase
I had never heard of hammers till I joined hunt talk , barns tsx,ttsx &
noslEr partitions and accubond are the primaries in my circle

I have a load for my wifes 6.5CM using the original 125gr bulldozer. I arrived at consistently good groups with 43gr IMR 4350. I can't find the velocity at the moment.
She shot an antelope buck with it at 175 yards a couple years ago. Bang flop with complete pass through. Decent wound channel with not a lot of meat damage and no evidence of fragmentation. I'd not hesitate to use them.

You forgot the Berger group!Does HT have room for another passionate faction of bullet lovers? We already have the "if it is old, lead, and cheap just shoot it" group, the "HT is a Nosler loyal forum" group, the "just shoot mono-metal" group, and the "Hammer lover" group.

And there seems to be zero love for Cutting Edge on HT.
Or Patriot Vally Arms monos either.

Another new best ever bullet. So you take a well placed shot with a cup and core hunting bullet and the same shot with a best ever custom bullet. Which one will kill the animal deader?

Seems this company is no more. Website and social media gone. Owner reference above pled guilty last year and sentenced to 15+ years.

It is my understanding that the owner of Badlands passed away from cancer earlier this year. After his passing his wife made the difficult decision to close the business.

For clarity - my understanding is that the owner that passed away and the guy that got locked up for pedo porn are 2 different people.

No.Haven't had a chance to read all these details, but checking to see if anybody has used them from here..
Badlands Precision Bullets thread - From BC to terminal ballistics
There seems to have been rising interest in these bullets, but information is spread out and somewhat limited, so hopefully this thread will help consolidate information. I would like to keep this thread somewhat organized, accurate, and to the point. If you have first hand experience please...www.longrangehunting.com
