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 performance compared to the Hammer Hunter or Shock Hammer lines. Until now! We have been working on the New Hammer HHT bullet design for nearly a year. They have been used on game around the world, proving performance above and beyond our expectations. In fact, they have proven to be better than our very high bar set by the previous Hammer Bullets line up. We simply refuse to market a hunting bullet that does not meet our expectations. Terminal performance always has been and always will be our primary objective. The Hammer HHT has been tested on hundreds if not thousands of animals from small varmints to 2000 lb eland. From hard angles on ribs, to heavy bone direct impacts, to light bodied small animals. The Hammer HHT performs flawlessly on all of these resistances from high to low vel impacts. In fact, they have displayed consistent low vel impacts better than the Hammer Hunter line of bullets. Low enough that we have given them a 1700 fps min impact velocity rating. 100 fps lower than we have previously advertised. This is for full deformation and shedding of the nose petals. Not slight deformation that some manufacturers call successful expansion. Simply put, the pure copper Hammer HHT works better than any other bullet on the market. In a wider range of impact velocities as well as heavy bone or no bone impacts.
After we were able to meet / exceed our lofty terminal performance goals, we were willing to market the extra benefits of increased bc, and meplat durability. Meplat durability has been a concern in the past. Our pure copper is very soft and could succumb to damage from rough feeding or dropping causing damage to the meplat and potential closing of the hollow point. Causing the bullet to not open properly on game. With drop testing and hard feeding from magazines, we have proven the Hammer HHT to be very durable in rough field conditions.
The initial launch has 11 offerings from .257 caliber to .308 caliber covering all of our most popular bullet weights and factory twist rates. We will be continuing to add bullet weights and calibers to cover a full range of applications. At this point the Hammer HHT line is still the very forgiving, multiple PDR drive band design that has proven to be the most forgiving, most accurate design from rifle to rifle on the market. As we develop the line we will add more designs that push the limits of potential velocity and bc.
I have to give thanks to those who helped us test the new Hammer HHT design. @fordy and @pickens72. These guys did a lot of shooting and testing and hunting and necropsies on animals. Couldn't have done it without them. They did a monumental amount of work for nothing other than free test bullets. There simply is no replacement for animal testing. Media or gel gives an idea. How well they actually perform on animals can't be duplicated.
Last thing. At this point the Hammer HHT will be shipped with the tips uninstalled. They will come with a block that we designed for installing the tips. Place the tip in the block, press the bullet onto the tip, and give it a tap with a light poly faced hammer to drive it home. You can shoot the bullets with or without the tips. Until we can acquire an automated system for installing tips, this is our solution. We did not want to wait for that time. It is coming as we can find the right equipment.
This is the initial line. and a couple pics of individual bullets.
