Obviously something turned you off the Hammer train and crimping. It can't be experience as you state you have not tried them. To each their own, but just curious what put you in this position?
not into all the hype and hysteria '
2] they refuse to verify the bc with doppler and any one who has actually done so and proves their estimated bc is way off get threatened with a law suit just ask brian litz
he's proven several times hammers estimated bc is not accurate and they threaten to sue him every time
if their bc is accurate they should be wiling to submit them for verification over doppler radar just like hornady,federal berger & nosler and every other bullet maker has
to me they won't because they know their bc claims are not accurate
a company that can't be honest up front isn't one i want to do business with,
hammer just isn't being honest about stated bc's of their products.
i know I'm going to get FLAMED really bad for speaking bad about hammer but that's ok
the ignore button works really well on this sight ,any one whom doesn't like it simply click on IGNORE USER
problem solved for everyone whom is offended
