300 Weatherby has Hammer bullets.
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

That's MSRP and their regular ammo doesn't sell for MSRP anywhere.
Of course that doesn't stop the usual Fire chit show.

Which one is it? That anyone gives a flying kcuf what others choose to enjoy. Frankly, I have never been bothered with how one chooses to spend their money. There are more than a few privately own Lear jets flying. On the surface it just seems odd. People who have enough money to just toss it away didn’t get that money by being stupid about it. You could get a pretty nice Turnbull creation for $10K. Indeed and why care about how another spends it?

Why all the buzz over Hammer bullets? Looks like an old TSX.

IME, they expand better than Barnes.
A 178 Hammer out of my pre-64 FWT .358 Win sure whacked a WT last Fall. Not a Weatherby but bad enough.
I like Hammer bullets. Not cheap, but worth it.

Expand better than a Barnes? I’ve killed a bunch of animals to include whitetails, muleys, black bear and elk, with .257. .264, .284, .308, and .338 caliber bullets in TSX and TTSX and have never had a Barnes bullet fail me, never. All were very dead. The Barnes bullets I have recovered have been textbook expansion. I’ve recovered about 10 or so. I’ve recently shot a deer and a bull elk with the hammers(absolutes in .308) and while they shoot well, I’m not sold on the terminal performance I’ve witnessed on the two animals I’ve killed. They did not perform as I expected….I will continue using the Barnes….

I think that some Barnes bullets do not expand well. I loaded some 270 loads for my son and I on a Wyoming whitetail hunt. The bullets killed the deer, so the bullets were not failures. But the bullet did very little expanding. Pencil hole in and out. The damage inside wasn’t what I’ve seen with cup and core bullets. I understand that the TTSX version is a much improved bullet for the smaller calibers. I’m not a Barnes hater, I have some larger caliber Barnes bullets (not TTSX) and I’ll be trying them. “Maybe using a grizzly load on a Whitetail.”
I also finally came across some TTSX bullets in the smaller calibers. Too many bullets too few seasons, too few opportunities.
I try to use something different each year. But I’ve used heavy for the caliber cup and core for so long that I don’t have the experience with different bullets that some have.
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally
