A little hammer goes a long way

BTW I will be running ladder with 55BT's with Varget to the book max load to see velocity comparison to the 55HH ladder with Varget.

I am very interested in the results, hammers seem to me to produce more speed than other bullets of the same weight

That will be a good even test.
Same loads for each will tell the tale!
I too am very interested in the results.

I have been able to take several coyotes now with a 22 hornet with the 35HH and a 221 fireball with the 44HH and not one of them has even attempted to run or even move for that matter, all have had exited with about a dime sized hole. I have also noticed when picked up by the back legs a tremendous amount of blood pours out their mouth...best killing bullets I've seen for these small cartridges for sure

Just unwrapped a spanking new Proof CF 1-8 22-250 barrel. Will be headed to get fitted soon and when done I will load the 70 HH in it for all things not varmint. Can't wait.

That's gonna be an awesome deer load

When snow stops I plan to get to range ASAP. I also have a .243 70HH load with RE15.5 that just might prove interesting.

I'm surprised those pups didn't die from strangulation. That's not how their mother carries them...

That is a pretty stock you got there! I have an affinity for laminates!

Thank you, I have a Remington 700 Boone & Crockett edition that has a gorgeous laminate on it, I like them as well

I am thinking the 124HHs in my 270 are going to be the medicine for WT. I am of the opinion, that one can never overestimate what it might take to kill the trophy of a lifetime........when he finally walks out. So I always err on the safe side of "enough".
Now, even I know that my 28 Nosler with the 169 HH at 3250 fps (or 195 Berger) is a bit much gun for WT.....so it just stands by in the CanAm waiting for a Nilgai to show.

I’ll second the motion. … all in favor signify by saying aye.

I get it, I used my 338 lapua with 260HH on a deer this year only to see how the bullet would perform. I spent my early years using 30 cal mags for whitetail and oh boy do they work but the last 10 years or so it's been mostly fast stepping 25, 24 or 22 caliber for me and I've found they work very well with proper shot placement, I say use what you want... if you can put put a good in the boiler room they all will get the job done

I just saw this and I say it qualifies

Gotta love the Hammers. They work but I'd like to see a tip for Higher BC.
