Thank you. I appreciate the suggestion, but I've decided to stick with my 120TTSX load. It gives me good numbers and accuracy, and has taken a lot of game over the years. I'm sure that eventually I could find accuracy with the 132HHTs, or some 131HHs. I just don't know if my wallet can handle...

You seem to be taking it personally, the fact that my guns don't seem to like this particular bullet. Is it because I rejected your suggestion to seat them out further, until they contacted the front of the magazine? I'm happy that they shoot well for you.

It might be unique to you, but nevertheless. Best was just over 1.25"

Because at 2.830, as you suggest, the tips would be touching the mag box, not something I want in a hunting rifle. Besides, even with the .015 space, the polymer tips were deforming, presumably under recoil. I've never had that situation with any other poly tipped bullet in any of the chambers I...

Yes, they are faster. And yes, I did compare velocity and energy estimates. The HHTs win on both counts. But speed means nothing to me without accuracy, and it just wasn't there for the most part. Wish it was, but 3 charges in .5 gr increments, in two rifles failed to produce any real potential...

Well, although I had high hopes for these 132 HHTs, my results were less than earth shattering. There were some high points, but not as many as the low points. I might try some 131HHs before I throw in the towel, but to be honest right now, I'm leaning heavily towards the tried and true 120 or...

2.830 actually. Just wanted some wiggle room.

Sure. 132 HHT Virgin Hornady brass CCI 200 Varget 45.5 3087fps AOL 2.815 .116 jump Kimber Classic Select 22" Steve suggested I start at 40.0 and work towards 45.0, where I should be around 3100 fps. It took me 45.5 to get to 3087. Now, I loaded 4 rnds each at 45.0, 45.5 and 46.0 for Friday's...

I already have two good loads worked up to use/choose from, for this hunt. But I have lots of time till this hunt comes off in Oct., and I thought I'd jump in and see what these Hammers are all about. Good advice about the practice. I shoot every Friday, all year long.

Hi all. This is my first experience with Hammer bullets. I'm working up loads for an Alberta moose hunt this October. I already have a very accurate load for 139 Interlocks at 2850 fps, and 140 TTSXs at 2920, but looking hard at Hammer 132 HHTs. So far, I'm at 3100 fps with no signs of...

Yeah, we'll see. Nothin's ever that easy for me. Hope you're right though...

Thanks, less. The wolves got all your Idaho tags! I've applied 35 years for a moose tag in Maine, without any love. I was 31y/o when I started. I decided to just go with an outfitter and guaranteed tag in Alberta while I'm still physically able.

Thanks I've only had flight layovers in and out of SLC. Never spent any time in Utah. My deer camp/club is on Eaglemountain in the Catskills of NY. Yeah, I have a pretty good load worked up with the 140 TTSX for my Montana. But I have plenty of time till Oct., and always wanted to see what all...

No problem. You probably don't have my brand of beer, anyway.😉

You're not going to believe this, but I actually live in Floral City, too. I always say Crystal River because nobody ever knows where Floral City is. Huh, small world.

Left coast of FL, or USA? I'm near Crystal River on the Gulf coast of Fl.

Thanks, where in Fl? I'm near Crystal River, in Citrus county.

Thanks guys. I thought something like that must have been the case. @Carsyn.22 Yeah, a moose has been at the top of my list for decades. I decided to do it now, before I get too old. October can't arrive soon enough...

Hi. Thought I became a member a few years back...Maybe they booted me for not visiting in a long while. Been reloading since the '70s, but just placed my first Hammer order today for some .284 132gr HHTs. Want to see how they'll do in a 7-08 Montana as a possible load for an Alberta moose hunt...
