Both my Coopers in 6.5 Creedmoor, and 6.5 PRC will put the 124 Hammer Hunter into .2's. I've not shot anything with them yet, but they are the most accurate bullet I have ever used. I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that they are hunting bullets.

So far, a sample of one. They're are extremely explosive. Need to shoot a deer next month and try to hit him in the middle

Good stuff Pete, the 404gr Hammer bullet in my 3.6" mag length action 458 Win Mag leaves at 2500+ fps, it's a very accurate bullet, no load development to speak of, just worked up with a chrono and AA-2460 powder till i got to 2500 fps then went to the bench, GTG, great bullets i look forward to using in other rifles.

I agree Kinda makes my 243 Win obsolete due to twist. You couldn't hand me a 1-10 243 anymore. Oh if it were a new haven stainless featherweight you take it and you know it.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego.

By next year this time I will have enough money to buy a 50 count box of their bullets. Then I will be part of the “hammer” time crew..

If it were a Stainless Featherweight in 243 of any vintage,I'd take it too. I can use 95 grain Balistic Tips or 80 grain Barnes TTSX and do about anything that needs doing around here and most other places too.

I’d likely cave for a P64 Featherweight first, but only cause it’s the rifle. I’d shoot the ping pong balls with it happily I guess

I have a 6 ARC like Fotis has bought it last year I only shot it 2-3 times. It’s a savage I need to put in a different stock.

I can't get the Barnes 80gr ttsx or the 95gr lrx to group in my 7.5 twist .243ai, I have gave up tired of wasting powder. Any ideas on what Hammer bullets I should try?

Any ideas on what Hammer bullets I should try? i don`t feel its the bullet gr. weight you are using either go to a heavier bullet ,try the 101 gr Hammer bullet you have the barrel twist for heavier bullets. i wish you lived close to me i would help you as would some other loonies would do.good luck .Pete53 >P.S. since i started using Hammer bullets now i do like copper bullets ,i never cared much for other brand copper bullets.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
