Life before Hammers

[joe16]

Just a portion of where I was at before I stumbled across Hammer Time and became a convert.

It was Barnes for me. Nothing inspires confidence like walking with Hammers out in the field!

Now all we need is some b*dass speech Associated with that by Samuel L Jackson.

Kinda looks like the shelf in my closet and couple boxes under my bench where all those inferior bullets now live...LOL

I shot just about everything, but always gravitated back to Nosler. I switched to Barnes when Noslers where hard to get, but couldn't get any speed I liked out of them. Came across Hammers and the rest is history. Now the only non Hammers I shoot are the Sierra 77gr OTM and Nosler 55gr NBT Because I still have a "few"

although found recently the 264 calibre 125 HHT pushed at 3330 has nearly identical ballistics to 1000 as the 147 eldm at 3100. PRS shooting has a speed limit of 3200 but I might try the 125's in F class.

I’m in the same boat. We shoot a lot, so before finding hammers I kept a health stock of bullets on the shelf. I refuse to sell them because I’m kind of a hoarder when it comes to my reloading components……you never know when they won’t be available again. I figure worst case scenario, they become my kids problem when I die.

Now I’m starting to stock up on my hammers. Buy a little here and there and keep the shelves full. I will continue to shoot non hammers in certain rifles because I have them, but all the new guns are being fed hammers.

I too have a soft spot for Sierra bullets. If I do my part, they do their part.
