The one thing that got me to try Hammers in the first place was Steve's guarantee. You don't like them, he will buy them back or trade you for a different Hammer bullet until you're happy. What do you have to lose? Honestly, I think you'll really like them.Stiltsville. Thats not the first time you have talked about your heads on the wall. You get around for a southeasterner. First, lets see the 25. If you are telling the truth they are almost all antelope which die fairly easy. Second i agree with you any quality bullet placed through lungs or heart will do the job. Third the technique of "worked in the past must be the best" is a caveman aproach. Works well, till something goes wrong. Your posts have little to add other than opinions. Which are like azzholes. You know the rest. Im not looking for opinions, im looking for facts. (Which you seem to have none of) Have you ever shot hammer bullets? Well you are not alone, i havent either, but im willing to. Always willing to learn. Unless you have something positive and factual about HAMMER BULLETS to add just bug out man. Ive taken 20 antelope with cap n core doesnt help me one bit.
Search for a member on here that goes by stx. He's killed a bunch of game with Hammers in multiple cartridges. He can give you a ton of first hand experience with them.Stiltsville.

We loaded the 169g Hammer Hunter in a 28n Borden rifle with 8" twist. Nosler brass, Fed 215m primer, N570, COL of 3.50". Started at 81g and took it up to 86g but settled on 84g. Was too compressed at 86g. Finished load was 3210 fps with 15 fps es.
We did run the 155g Hammer Hunter in the same rifle. Finished at 88g and a vel of 3330 fps.
These loads are top end and should be backed down from and worked up to carefully.
I have had a ton of luck with the eldx as well. Funny how most hammer bullet threads turn into a fight.Nevrsummr your understanding of mono bullets, if anything is fun!
Trolling for someone to tell you it's ok to be stupid is far better than actual learning something. SARCASM. lol
Enjoy the 28 and post pictures of your kill.
