congrats / nice pictures and those Hammer Hunters did put the hurt on those animals ! i have been finding Hammer bullets really shoot accurate out of these cartridges so far, 22 K-Hornet ,6BR , 257 Creedmoor, 257 Roberts ,257 Weatherbies . did the 26 Nosler shoot well for you with these Hammer Hunter bullets on paper ?

28 Nosler with 143HH shot extremely accurate on paper and on game
Would you mind sending me a PM with the powder/load you used with your 28 Nosler. I have a new to me Nosler 28 and some Hunter Hammer 143's that I'd like to try.
Several here have mentioned Hammers to be found more accurate than Barnes,
Like how much?
A 2 MOA gun turned into a 1 MOA gun?
.75 to .5 or what?
Barnes have not been has accurate at all times for me has Bergers,
But we are talking hunting bullets/accuracy here,
Just curious.
Not sure hammers will turn a 2MOA gun into a 1MOA gun but my experience with them has been minimal load development yielding great accuracy and not picky about seating depth. The rifle I’m shooting them in was under MOA with all powder charges in my initial test. Also their terminal performance has been excellent on game.
in my 257 Weatherby mag. shot 3/4 inch - 1inch 3 shot groups at 100 yds. with Nosler 100gr. PARTITIONS , Barnes out of my Ruger #1 - 1 1/2 inch 3 shot groups were shot with Reloader 22, with the Hammer hunter 103 gr. 1/2-5/8 inch 3 shot groups i used Reloader 25 , the RL. 25 powder could have helped with better groups ? all 3 of my Weatherby mag. rifles shot so much better with Hammer bullets and Reloader 25 powder i just decided to reload that combo and forget the other powder and other brand bullets too. but i do believe Hammer bullets are a more accurate bullet than Barnes bullets . i have no sponsors or get any deals on bullets but i shoot plenty at my own range to figure out what works best for myself . the other great thing about Hammer bullets is Hammer has bullets in stock and Hammer has fast shipping too.

My 28 Nosler likes 83.0 of H1000 with the 143 Hunter, loaded 20 off the lands. Holds sub minute out past 700. Killed a few elk with it last year, from 100 yards out to 550, they're all dead!
Maybe I posted this before, but don't remember 'cause I'm getting old. Anyway, I started using Hammers in 2016. I just check my records. Since then I was able to kill a buck and a doe and four pigs. The largest pig was 330 pounds. All bullets exited. The 330 pound pig was hit barely left of the right shoulder facing me. The 130 grain 6.5 bullet shank and the four peddles exited 30 inches later out the left side of the pig. Its velocity was 3,190 feet per second. All but two dropped at the shot. One was heart shot and ran forty or fifty yards. I don't remember where I hit the other one. I think it ran about the same distance. O yea, one of the pigs ran about twenty-five yards.
I usually fire five shots for groups. Even my 8mm Coyle firing 198 grainers makes groups about 3/4" and sometimes smaller. I used 6.5 124 and 130 grainers. Alos, I used 7mm 131 grainers and 8mm 181 and 198 grainers. Even at 300 yards they stay about 1MOA. Lately I have been playing with the Hammer Hunter 7mm 90 grain bullet at about 4,250 feet per second. Even at 300 yards it's still motoring along at 3,000 feet per second. I plan to use it on deer next year. If I go elk hunting I will either use the 8mm 198 at 3,054 feet per second or switch to the 7mm 131 at 3,670 feet per second.

Today, I ordered some more Hammers, this time .338 213/210 grain H-H going to try them out in my 338-06, going to try it with Big-Game Powder. Think I'll start with a magnum primer.

I hope y'all are doing well.
that sounds great please let us know how that works out , i just purchased another 338 Win. mag in a Alaskan s.s. laminated shock ,Winchester model 70 , i was kinda wondering which Hammer bullets to order ? good luck,Pete53
Read the whole thread with great interest. Will likely try out the 124gr HH when I get around to load development for my 270WBY.
Has anyone else watched the "on our mark" podcast with the Hammer bullet guys hosted by the WBY guys? Pretty interesting with good explanations and information. I recommend giving it a look.
Bore size is no substitute for shot placement and Power is no substitute for bullet performance. 458WIN
Shooting 175 Hammer Hunters in my 338 Federal over a compressed load of IMR 8208 XBR. The rifle is a rebarreled Kimber Montana with a Lilja 1:10 Mod84M barrel. It will stack 3 Hammers in almost one hole. No crimping. Started at mag box length of 2.8" and never touched the seating.

Hammer bullets are available, because they are terribly high priced.
Price is relative.
A 50ct box of Accubonds is $55-ish these days.
The last couple boxes of 100ct Hammers I purchased were $118 each.
Well there you go. They're $63 more.
Maybe I'm a little slow, but let me gets this straight.
Hammers per 100 are $118. Accubond per 50 are $55.00. So if you take said numbers and make them equal, doesn't this make the accubonds $110 and hammers $118 so isn't this an $8.00 difference?
Maybe my common core isn't working today.
Fer crissakes, relative ain't absolute, nor is it equal – it's in the ballpark.
Thank you, Sir, may you give them another. Laughing - - - - -
