Update: I am now quite satisfied with the B14 and the 122gr HHT's. I found "the load" that works for me. Copper fouling is minimal. Call me a believer in Hammer bullets. Thank you one and all for your guidance and patience. Kindest regards, TheMoose

Thanks for your thoughts. I am using ThorroClean and flush. I do understand your logic and cannot disagree. But I also saw the deteriorating accuracy( perhaps it's just the barrel breaking in). It is getting better...Once I settle on my load I do want to shoot several rounds, keeping an eye...

Update: I am finding success. IMO copper is not building up nearly as fast with the HHT's as compared to Barnes. I am in early stages of load development so I haven't tried shooting an extended string to see if & when accuracy may fall off and if copper is excessive. I have been cleaning...

Welcome from Indiana.... where in NM are you? I'm older than dirt and got my first bull elk near Chama in October... going back this year for a cow... had no idea NM was so beautiful..

I'm sure hoping you are right. I bought a box of 100 to give them and rifles a fair test. If they work as hoped I still think that I want to be able to shoot other bullets with the same success. u Perhaps I should have asked others for their experience with other brands to gauge what's out...

I don't know which forum this post should be, so I picked this one. I would like to ask for help with my plan on attacking copper buildup in my rifles. I have reloaded for 59 years and have just had a terrible experience with a couple of rifles(both 270 Winchester) with extreme copper fouling...

Thanks for the welcome and info. joe16, not to worry...I was the middle child so I'm used to being left out...

Just joined the forum recently after making my first order for Hammer bullets. I'm a crusty(or cranky) old dude from Indiana. Been shooting and reloading for 59 of my 75 years. I am(or was) an avid hunter, now slowing down due to Father Time and wear and tear. One thing that I haven't...
