Side by side testing today. 130 TTSX vs 133 Shock Hammer. I tried the Barnes TTSX over 55 of H4350 and 55 of Staball 6.5. Both shoot right at 1 inch H 4350 was a MV of 3114 and Staball was at 3074. Then my wife sites down to a rifle she had never shot before and shoots a group we covered with a...

Got my 125 HHT bullets yesterday and found it was kind of fun putting on the tips. I was wondering if these can be pushed faster than the normal HH bullets? I have a load for my wife's 6.5CM with the 124 HH and 40 of Varget. Should I start there and inch my way up? Or is this not the right...

I was asked about power Hammers. How big is the hole? Is it more like a HH or a SH? How much weight do they retain?

Has anyone done any work ups with this combo? Not a heck of a lot of Data for this. With W760 I got just over 3000 fps and tight groups. H4350 got me another 150 fps and almost as tight groups. Any other ideas? I have most powders on hand.

Anyone got some data or ideas for powder? Would like an accurate load with good speed. Don't need to set the grass on fire between me and the target.

I keep running into guys that buy a new rifle for $1000, Spend just as much on a scope and then shoot Walmart ammo out of it. And they won't believe me about the accuracy I get with Hammer Bullets with my $300 Savage Axis. I don't see Archers buying a $1000 bow and then buying their arrows at...

What if Texas used the Emergency broadcast system and call out all Texans to arm themselves and go to the border. Repel the Invaders. What ever would Sleepy Joe do? They refuse to close the border. Why?

A friend wants me to set up a new to him rifle. 308, Rem 700, triangle barrel, looks to be about 20 inch. And I believe they have a 1:12 twist. Wants to go light and fast. This is East coast hunting in the hills of upstate NY. 99% of shot are under 200 yards and 80% lest than half that. I was...

Does anyone know what percent of it's weight a Lever Hammer retains?

What do you guys use for copper removal? Barnes CR10 did ok I thought, then I tried the "cleaned" rifle with Bore Tech copper remover and couldn't believe how much blue green stuff was coming out of that barrel. Best of all was the lack of odor from it.

On Black Friday we stood in line for about 2 hours at BPS to get their "Deal" on a Savage Axis. The add said it was the XP model so that would have the accu-trigger. Wrong, it was the plain Axis. I got it home and starting going over it. The factory trigger was so bad that when I dry fired it, I...

What does everyone use for copper removal? I have some Barnes CR10 as I got it years ago and I have the larger sized bottle. I cleaned the barrel with Hoppe's #9 till clean. Then used the CR10 as directed. First patches came out kind of blue. I kept following the directions till they came out...

For years now we all have to wear plaid shirts and NOT matching plaid lounge pants. The worse the clash the better. We spend the day looking like a bunch of Rodeo Clowns on vacation. Yet very comfortable. I hope all of you have a wonderful day.

Any chance Hammer could come out with an Orange Hammer hat that we could wear hunting? Think of the pictures.

My shots are all under 200 yards. What would be a better choice, Shock Hammers or Power Hammers? 30 caliber 308/30-06?

When making mashed potatoes at Deer Camp. Don't use chocolate milk. Not a big hit.

My wife got a 5 1/2 year old Fallow Buck with her 6.5 CM. She used a 85 gr HH over 43,5 of Varget. The shot was about 90 yards down hill and I was watching the wrong buck. At the shot I just saw hooves come into my field of view about 5-6 feet off the ground. The Buck landed on it's chest and...

I have a Savage Axis in 223. 1:9 twist 22 inch. I have replaced that awful trigger spring that was nearly 7 lbs with an MCarbo 2.5 lbs spring. Much better shooter now. I have worked up some good loads with Hornady V-max in both 40 and 50 grain I would like to try some Hammers. Mostly I hunt...

The hunt we just went on we met a family from Stowe VT. To get their meat home they had a 7 cubic ft freezer strapped in the back of their truck along with a generator. He said they stop every 4 hours to get gas and use the bathroom. He even had the generator turned so he could fill it from the...

A 308 for a Bison Harvest. I have used a 168 TTSX in the past. Results were ok. Nothing special as My wife dropped it with her Creedmoor and took the spine off the skull. Neck shots tend to be 100 yards or less. Have used the 143 LH on deer sized game and the results were amazing as far as...
