Update on the high BC hammers?

[Huntnful]

What's going on with these bad boys at the moment? Really looking forward to an update or possible release date? Better BC testing and baselines? Tip, no tip? What calibers and grain weights have the current testing been done with so far? Probably the only bullet that interests me going in to 2023 honestly.

I asked the same thing over on the hammer bullets forum. No replies so far. Must still be testing them. From the testing reports out of Australia, they sound very promising. I'm waiting for a release date before I order. Hard enough and expensive getting them up to Canada. I'm interested in a 338 cal around the 225-240 gr weight.

I've been wondering the same thing. Thinking about a re-barrel/ re-chamber and would like more intel on these before deciding on twist rate….

Many years ago i was testing alot of bullets for the Hammer boys in my wildcats and they were shooting great but i kept asking them, can you get BC up a bit? Even asked them if they had thought about adding a tip to help with BC and long range expansion. At that time they said they had no plans. Now it seems they are moving that way, will be a game changer if they can get their BC a bit!!

That's a fact! If they get the BC's into the .3's on the G7, that would be awesome!

So far the battle has been getting consistent, reliable expansion with the smaller hollow point. A large hollow point with a tip may be the answer. I have been shooting the Lazers with pretty good results so far. The act very similar to the Hammers where the front of the bullets breaks off and the shank penetrates and exits.

I've looked hard at those due to their similar terminal performance characteristics. Are they easy to get an accurate load for like the hammers?

Allegedly…I'm going to start with them in my 7 saum as hammer being the backup to them. Really hoping I can get a load together with the lazers.

Hammers have always been high BC, just ask them. Applied Ballistics doesn't know how to measure BC, everything is a variable and doesn't apply to the super duper Hammer design, just ask Hammer Bullets.
