Best decision I made was to purchase these. These shoot sub moa out of my Ridgeline 300 Win Mag like right at .50”. I tried every box of ammo I could get my hands on as well as some hand loads. Nosler, Hornady, Federal, Winchester. All these were 1-1/2 to 2” + groups. Very easy load development. Look forward to stretching these out to 800 yards. Will definitely be purchasing more and for other calibers as well. Will try and update after my Elk hunt on well they work on game

I gave up on Barnes and since Nosler Accubond bullets are impossible to find I gave up on the too and tried These Hammer Hunter™ bullets.They are the easiest bullets by far to develop loads for.
I still have some other bullets but my go to bullets are 180 gr Hammer Hunter™ bullets for Elk and Mule Deer.
Steve and Brian are on hand to offer help and guidance on bullet choice and load developement so there really is NO other choice in my book!

Stellar bullets! I reload 300 Weatherby and 30-378 Weatherby with hammer bullets. Fantastic results. maximum powder loads do not produce flat primers or heavy lift.
A few weeks ago, I took a 5×5 elk in Colorado with my 300 Weatherby at 608 yards. 180 grain hammer hunter, 4831sc powder, fed 215m primers.
quartering away to the left. shot the elk in the high shoulder and the exit wound was a few inches below opposite cheek bone.
dropped, there was a 1600 ft cliff about 200 yards away from the elk.
With same load, I have shot a central Texas whitetail deer in the neck, just above the shoulder, broadside @ 120 yards.
thin skin and light muscle still produced excellent expansion with the exit would about 3 inches in diameter. the deer did a full flip.
Now transitioning, 30-378 weathertby with 180 grain hammer hunter. (limited by barrel twist.)
300 Weatherby with the 160 grain hammer hunter
fantastic consistency with individual bullet weights and the bullet preforms!

I have not yet had the opportunity to use the 180 grain Hammer Hunter bullets on game, but I can share a recent range experience. I tested two different bullets, the 180 grain Sierra HPBT Gameking and the 180 grain Hammer Hunter. I shot a group of 10 of the Sierras and a group of 9 of the Hammers. The two bullets were loaded with the same powder type and charge weight, same brass, same primers and loaded to the recommended COAL from each bullet manufacturers. The groups were shot within an hour of each other with consistent weather conditions. The Sierra group was over 6” while the Hammer Hunters grouped around 1”. (See pics below) Rifle: Weatherby Mark V Weathermark LT w/ 26” barrel chambered in 300 Weatherby Magnum. MV: 3080 fps.

Just got back from my first range trip with my 300 ultra that I’ve had trouble getting to group with accubond, ttsx, and eldx. Even with a looong jump to the lands because of mag length it shot a 10 shot ladder in .5gr increments that all landed in an inch! Shot 4 deer with 131 .284″ hammers with excellent terminal performance so I’m sure these will be great on game. Hammers have quickly become my fix all for picky guns so I 100% recommend you try them!
