OK, I'll give you catfish, though tastes better blackened with cajun spices. Crappie I'll leave to you.No fried crappie or catfish? Say it ain't so......

Give me a call 812-364-6183, I believe there's more in it yetI guess you've had better luck than me. It took me about 85 out of 100 bullets to figure them out in my 25-06. I'm shooting the 116 grain, and as a final attempt out of frustration, I tried seating them .010 off the lands with 52 grains of Reloader 26. Should've tried that first. Duh! I got 1 1/4" groups at 200 with that attempt. I ran another group and it was 1 3/8" at 200, and considering I'm not the deadeye I was 30 some years ago, I'm plenty happy. I was beginning to think I spent 3k building that rifle for nothing.
How are they working out for you so far, sounds interesting.Should have added the Barnes LRX as well. Just started working up a load for them in 6.5 Creedmoor, 127gr.
Like to hear more about the 85 in 6.5 CreedX3 on Hammers. I'm 5-for-5 in a row stacking up dead whitetails that haven't moved after being shot. People call it a cult, I call it using what works for me.
I'll add Cutting Edge, but only because Hammer doesn't make saboted muzzleloader bullets. Badlands Precision and Maker Bullets also specialize in copper monos. I have a bunch of Badlands to try. Makers are my go-to in subsonic loads.
Black Butterfly sells pre-loaded Maker Bullets ammunition that is kind of the opposite of Hammer and CE - instead of fracturing these bullets open significantly more than a regular mushroom and cut more like an arrow broadhead.

Most manufacturers offer some kind of drawn wire copper bullet - Barnes, Hornady, Nosler, etc. (like he listed there ^) but they tend to be designed to mushroom similar to a CoreLokt or other traditional cup and core bullet. I don't want that, I want either the petals to shear off, or the bullet to expand significantly more. Making monos act like old bullets is shortsighted to me.
Make sure you know your barrel twist rate, depending on what chambering/caliber you're shooting you might be surprised at how fast it needs to be. But a big upshot is you can run the bullet significantly faster. Part of the "Hammer Cult" is shooting light for caliber bullets significantly faster than normal. I used a more traditional weight of180gn Hammer Hunters in my 30-06, but in 6.5 Creed I use 85gn bullets that run several hundred FPS faster than 120-140gn lead bullets, and they hit HARD.
Works been a XXXXX, but I have some time off next week and plan on putting them on target next week. I'll let you know if I actually get to get out.How are they working out for you so far, sounds interesting.
That's the spirit!That is true. I was looking at Hammer bullets and the BC are pretty low. There are so many choices and I'm taking all responses from everyone and use it to see how it fits me and my budget.
Lol, maybe, but I'm not sure there's any more in the shooter. Wished I knew someone close by that was a really, really good shooter, and let them have a go to see what they can shoot with this rifle.Give me a call 812-364-6183, I believe there's more in it yet
