I haven’t used Hammer Bullets yet, but I can see some that could work out very well. My rifle shooting doesn’t require all bullets to be big game performers. A lot of my shooting could be called plinking, varmint or target. I am one that can’t help but try other bullets. I have some rifles where I stick with one make/model for bullets and never deviate like the 69 grain SMK in the AR, but I love to explore the others. I see light bullets that are not tipped in 22 Cal from Hammer that are attractive for my K Hornet. The light 33-35 grain are some that I would like to try and the fact that you can buy sample packs is a big deal in case I’m wrong and they turn out to be junk and you’ve dropped big money on a lot of bullets. The 100 grain for the 270 seem to be interesting too. As far as tipped or not? I think I like the non tipped better, at least in the Barnes I shoot for a few calibers.
