6.5 CM hunting bullets

[skipglo]

Am I missing something here? Hammers been shipping to Canada for awhile now. Plus there's a Canadian supplier to be announced soon as well. If they don't sell to Canada I'm not sure how I just got 300 of them.

Well don't keep the contact to yourself....I talked with Hammer in the spring....still had no importer in Canada at the time

I think they got it this summer some time I remember them posting it. The good news is you will be able to get the absolute hammers first. I got a great load for the 124 and now have to redo for the 123gr

I ordered over the phone directly from Steve at Hammer bullets. If you're not in a hurry I'd wait till the Canadian supplier is announced. Shipping is a killer to get the bullets to us up here. With that said it was very fast as I had my bullets to Manitoba in 4 days. Now if the windchill wasn't in the -30's I could shoot. To cold for me!

I had a five hour return trip drive today to pick up the rug from my Avatar...-28 winds 25 kph... visibility about 100 ft in many areas. Normally take 3 hours! Got my best buds Deer head same time. He figures he can Sneak his in before his wife see's it....only head he has...wonder how long it's going to take? LMAO

Mr. rick which powder are you using with the hammers

Thanks

I shoot the 121 gr Hammers out of my 6.5 CM with H4350. I can use RL15 or IMR 4350 in a a pinch and accuracy is still sub moa. Weatherby Mark V ultra lightweight.

Dad and I have shot 2 mule deer, 2 antelope and 1 Barbary sheep this season with Hammer bullets. They are super accurate and so far they seem to do some pretty wicked damage on game.

Now I want a hunting load.

Depending on the distances you're negotiating don't rule out the Sierra 140 SBT Game King. I currently have 2 loads worked up (and proven) for my Creedmoor......one with the aforementioned Sierra and one with the Berger 140 vld-h. The Sierra's actually shoot tighter for me and consistently under a half-minute at 200 yards.

Just wondering if the one that posted about his daughters 130 OTM would like to share some load data. I've shot the box ammo from Berger out to about 930 yards with great results and accuracy but I've still looking for a box of 130otm for loading. Any load data is appreciated. Thanks

Some guys are visual. This should help with how the 130 OTM works...
532 yards

637 yards

391 yards

454 yards

250-260ish yards

My pronghorn was the only animal to take a step after the shot, just because he was on a full run when I hit him.
