Interesting. Dumb question(s)…
Where’d you get the tips? Just tapped in or some type of adhesive? Noticeable difference in performance?

Miss T's 6.5 WBY RPM(1in8) loves 118 HHT and 125 HHT.
The 118HHT turned my 9 twist 264 Win Mag into a 1/2 MOA gun again.
I'm sold on 'em. I haven't figured out how to over-pressure them yet. You just keep adding powder until you get to 3600-3700fps and the groups are good. Then you stop.
IDK what I will do when I run out of RL-26 though.

The tips and the little copper anvil come in the box with the bullets. You do not need adhesive, they friction fit in the HP hole. I sort out the less concentric tips for load workups and keep the best for finished loads.

My 6arc really likes the HHT and so does my 30-06, I'm really liking the design so far. Tipping them lends a kind of extra level of Zen to reloading.
New blue tips these days. I have some clear ones from the proto times. mtmuley

I haven't tried the HHT yet. I have some 174's coming for my 3006. Truing to find a replacement for the 152. I dod work up with the 143's in my 3030 today. I think I have it dialed in. The 70HH in 243 is deadly.

I picked up some 95 grain HHT’s for a good price to use in my son’s 257 Weatherby. We’ll see.
Yes it is. mtmuley

Thanks. Haven’t been on the hammer site for a while as I’ve been working through my stash on hand

I would be on board for that.
Steve built a rifle awhile back that used necked down 7mm RUM brass to 6.5. Called it the Ultra Cat. Can't remember specifics but it was a screamer. There are guys on the Hammer site pushing Hammers to 5000 fps with certain cartridges. mtmuley

243 RUM just has a sweet ring to it.

What's the likelihood that tipping them could make the COL just long enough to cause them not to fit in the magazine?

Hope I'm not infringing forum protocol but here goes;
Announcing the New Hammer HHT
It has been years in the making with early on failures that led us to say that we would never make a tipped bullet. We could not make a tipped bullet that worked as well for terminal performance as the other Hammer Bullets lines. No matter what we did the tip always retarded terminal...

Post #11 in particular
Just an example. The original Hunter in .30 cal 181 grains has a length of 1.587. The HHT in 182 grains has a length of 1.582. The HHT isn't a tipped HH. The profiles are different. mtmuley
Brand new ones get the new blue tips. Eventually all of them will get the blue ones when the black runs out.
