    Hammer Damage

    124 grn 6.5 prc Hammer bullet. 3100 fps. 150 yards.
    You can see the shank exit and 3 petal exits above it. The petals fly off and the shank always seems to exit.

    Back of the neck at 200. Ouch.
    They are the most effective bullet I have ever used but ruin a lot of meat. I’ve got some 64 grn coming for the .223. They were comparatively expensive but with the price hikes on everything else now it’s just the extra freight that makes them a bit more costly to use. An advantage is that they are always available.

    I’m in the trees at the moment. When I’m home I will post the link but Googling Hammer Bullets should take you to their site.

    Montana,
    There's an Aussie in Tassie selling them not sure for NZ
    Getting good reviews across several forums.
    Haven't Hammered anything but have proven them accurate

    I haven't tried Cutting Edge. I've seen them mentioned on the Africa forums, also Northfork I think.

    I have tried Outer Edge made in Orange, NSW Australia. I tried one pack, I don't remember anything negative on them.

    There is another company Atomic 29 doing monos.

    What I did find with Hammer 124gn HH was a tight 3 shot group. Impressed myself but also it's a new barrel fitted aftermarket by a good gunsmith.

    Mostly shooting pests so if it's down and dead it's a good projectile.

    @CBH Australia had a quick look and couldnt find him
    Do you know which dealer it is?
    Edit @Tahr so they go good in a 270, have you tried then in the 222 yet?
    Maybe good in a 243

    Seem to go good in everything. I have tried 52 grn Hammer in .223 for accuracy. Just duplicated my Targex load and it was spot on. Shot higher than the 52 Targex but they do go faster with standard loads. Haven't shot anything with them. Im sure they will be excellent.
