Seems like they were exclusive but they all seem to shoot one ragged hole pretty easy. I threw 6 196's together and blasted one hole with my buddies 30-378 just out of curiosity and then he shot a 12" gong at 545 with no data. Trying to convince him to use it this elk season but he's going to use his 7mm with hammers I loaded and he had a turret built

Dosen't show 195's but they show a 196 HH
Contact Steve at Hammer Bullets. They'll surely fix you up.
Speed kills but so do bullets, I hope Weatherby adds a choke proof coating to the bullets so birds of prey are safe!What a huge accomplishment for Steve and Brian, when the the legendary company who always pushed the "Speed Kills" band wagon starts loading your bullets you are most defiantly rising to the top, congrats to the both of you as all your hard work ( and I ain't BS'ing as I know first hand) has paid off

That bullet is exclusive to Wby. Most of the Hammers they load are. We have the 196gr Hammer Hunter that would be similar. It is a bit longer nosed though.

I really would like to see how the 195-196's around the 3000/3400 perform on elk or similar. My buddies son over in eastern Washington took a bad shot on a huge mule deer and shot almost full length from the rear quartering uphill with 116 gr out of a 270wsm. He shares the same rifle with his youngest son and oldest boys grandson and they've killed 3 mules each every year since I did load workup and made some bullets for him. They have other rifles but say this one kills them quicker than anything they've ever used before
always the case

Thanks Steve, the 196 HH looks to be a lot lower in BC compared to the Weatherby (WBY 195 G1 = .550 per their website)? I have another .25 of magazine room to play with in this Mark V, so the added length should be tolerable I think. Tempted to try the 203 HHT and see if they will stabilize in the factory 1-10 twist barrel. They look excellent.

The 203gr HHT will not stabilize in the 10" twist. The 182gr HHT will out run the 196gr or 195gr all day long. That's what I would run.

If it says it needs a certain twist or faster, it needs a certain twist or faster. I know this for certain lol

nealm66,
I learned the hard way. I did a .6.5mm but did not get the correct twist for the 124 Hammer Hunter. I had to switch to a 131 Shock Hammer.

Ya, I think everyone should at least try once just to see what a bullet hole looks like when it's going through paper sideways. Same goes for finding the right combination of fps/twist to make target bullets come apart in mid flight. Weatherbees are a good platform for this
