my 1st animal with a Hammer bullet was a medium buck Antelope this year Year 2022 Sept.16 TH. in Wyoming with my long range 257 Weatherby mag. 7 1/2 twist Brux barrel at a measured distance after the shot 450 yards . i used a 103 gr. Hammer hunter bullet went right thru the animal so no bullet recovery but a nice type small hole going in and looked like a mushroom type exit hole kinda. my rifle shoots on the average 3680 FPS with this 25 caliber bullet and with a zero of 200 yards and at 450 yards its about 13 -14 inches low i had to use Kentucky windage a little , my range finder did not work. my next use hopefully will be in Minnesota`s whitetail deer season son and myself will both be using our Ruger #1`s 257 Weatherby mags with this same great bullet 103 gr. Hammer bullet at the same speed too. good luck this fall with a safe season,Pete53

I'm a Hammer Bullet fan. I sent photos of what a 178 Hammer out of my Pre-64 .358 Win FWT did to a WT doe. I got a nice reply from one of the owner/founders, Steve Davis. So, they have great customer awareness and response. Good bullets, good guys. https://hammerbullets.com/about-us/DF

This Sunday opener for Antelope....... either a 257 Bee with 90 gr Hammer, or a new 6mm ARC with 101 Hammer.
Still up in the air.

Still up in the air. Tough choice with no down side. Let us know how it goes. DF

Still up in the air. What’s your speed on the 101 out of the ARC?
