[QUOTE="Jonoton, post: 2633258, member: 100300"] OP, since you are new here and catching on to the fact that Hammer bullets have a well divided set of supporters and detractors, you should be aware that this is a long established dynamic. Just as the supporters can be overbearing and quick to become contentious, some of the detractors also have a history of not altogether model citizen behavior. This now predictable thread progression did not develop overnight, and neither side of the issue could have become this contentious without the willing participation of the other. I'm not looking to chide or dress down anybody, just provide context. However, some of the main characters on each side have moderated their discourse a bit. I understand you got here through research, and I myself have researched paper towels of all things. And I am sure there is an internet forum somewhere with people arguing over those things. Internet research can be a rabbit hole, for sure. ________________________________________________ I for one think that the bullet on game performance is the most consistent and effective of any that I myself have implemented, while I also acknowledge that hunting at extended range (yes, what some consider 'long' but I consider 'too long' for me personally) is at some point better served by other construction bullets with higher BCs. I've said before that for my hunting scenarios, the Hammer bullet construction (and I suspect other monos, though I have not used others myself to recommend) offers a wider band of reliable terminal performance on game, i.e. 10 to 400 yards in my case. I am confident that you will be pleased with the performance of the Hammer bullets on game, should you choose to try them. Given that your original question as to whether or not Hammer bullets adversely affect barrel life in any appreciable manner is a pretty well unqualified No, it would seem that you intend to try them out. My own experience is that the ease of load workup is the real deal, which is one aspect I value most and I hope you enjoy. And the value you place on customer service could not be better served than by Steve at Hammer. If you had simply come across their website and called them up, you'd have great bullets in the mail backed by the best customer service I've run across. [/QUOTE]
