[QUOTE="pburton, post: 2407883, member: 48978"] I have used Hammer bullets in multiple different calibers and weights for some time now. There are things about them that I like and some that I don't like as much. But I cannot say that I love them or hate them. I love the fact that they are so easy to develop a load for, they shoot very well, and do a great job on game. I don't like their BC's and that I have had problems with them feeding from an internal magazine. That being said, I have figured out how to get around the things that I do not like. The BC's are what they are, and I realized that they are not a long-range bullet. But realistically I have never killed an animal over 550 yards. So, do I really need more BC? I don't know. I shot the elk in my picture from 550 yards with a Nosler partition, which does not have a good BC. The feeding problems that I have had are from the bullets being seated out too far. Once I seat them in a little further, the feeding problems improved. Yes, they are a bit pricey but given the fact that you have the ability to pick up the phone and call Steve anytime and that they have what you are looking for in stock, I will give up the extra money. In the end of the day, I am all about supporting small businesses that support the hobbies that I love. Steve and his crew are all about developing a product that meets or exceeds the needs of the masses. I will never be an exclusive shooter of Hammer bullets, unless they pay me (just kidding), but they will always have a place on my loading bench. [/QUOTE]
