Anyone have experience with Hammer bullets?

[SkullKeeper]

I just received an order of .435 caliber bullets by Hammer. After measuring a few I’m finding that they are .4350” diameter. I was hoping they would measure .4345” … now I’m a bit concerned about shooting them. My 425 WR was made in 1990 so not an old rifle… any thoughts on this ?

Shoot them, that is smaller than a human hair difference.

I shot the moose in my avatar pic with a Hammer 181gr 300wm, worked great.

No idea. I bought my first Hammer bullets a few weeks ago - 128 grain .338 bullets. I developed a load for my .338 Marlin Express. I hope to hunt with them Wednesday. 2950ish fps out of a tube fed Marlin; I never thought I would see such velocities out of a Marlin lever. And they group pretty well.

Have used Hammer bullets in 300 PRC with great success. I’ve not measured the bullets to the ten thousandths place. Call Steve Davis he’s usually available to talk and seems like a great guy.

My Nephews daughter has taken two elk, two shots with them with her 6.5 Creedmore. They like them.

I use hammer bullets in multiple rifles. have used 199gr in a .300 win mag for a lot of stuff from antelope to elk to bears to oryx. Excellent results. My current go to is the 140gr Hammer HBC in my 7-08ai. It’s pretty devastating. Have used the 63gr absolute out of a .223 rem in deer, hogs, javelina and aoudad to good effect as well. Load some up and give the a shot. I’ve always found them easy to find an accurate load for and usually they like to be driven fast at near top end powder charges.

2024 my son and I went to East Cape.
He use 6.5 PRC that he built using 125gr
Hammer bullets. The name is very appropriate, he took a Sable, Black Wildebeast, Blesbok and a Impala with one shot kills.
