How Hammer Bullets are made
How Weatherby and Hammer ended up finding each other
Terminal performance of Hammer bullets

Outstanding! I love how these guys are so humble and honest and did not sacrifice their passion for quality and performance! We need more companies like these two who provide an excellent product made by hard working folks here in America and recognize the grace and goodness of God over their lives and businesses! Well done, gentleman!
Makes me proud to see a couple of good ole Americans setting down and figuring out how to make things better. They are right on, it’s a little more expensive but it is a premium product and it is absolutely worth it!!! Thanks guy’s!
I admire both of you for going into an adventure you were unfamiliar with.
Just started shooting factory ammo with hammer bullets in 6.5-300 Weatherby with outstanding results. Accuracy has been sub moa in two different Mark V's with excellent terminal performance!! Velocity has been spot on with the factory Weatherby ammo.
Phenomenal rifles in phenomenal cartridges make with phenomenal bullets make for phenomenal memories. Hats off to a couple more Americans for sticking to it and not sacrificing quality for a couple points higher B.C. Or anything else. These two companies are amazing and their partnership is nothing short of a phenomenon, just wait and see!!!!
Hammers are fantastic bullets. I now load for 5 - 6 different rifles and will not look back. Great bullet!! Great Company!! I hope they keep true to who they are and keep manufacturing a great product.
Love your bullets. Working on a good load for my 7mm08.
Great interview..I'm going to try them out.. Terminal performance is what it's all about...
Great video and partnership! Glory to God!
Awesome episode, learned a lot 👌🏼
The 83 grain shock hammerers in 243 will make anyone a believer
I’ve been shooting Hammer bullets for a couple years now and I’ve got to say I’m glad I made the switch. I’ve seen a dozen bears dropped dead with these bullets, most of which I shot myself. I’ve never seen a bullet do what these can do, from Barnes to Nosler. Absolutely devastating on game, and the easiest bullets I’ve ever worked up loads for. Ive tried a few and settled on the 196 Hunter as my go to bullet for moose and bear. I’ve had bears drop less than 10 feet from where they were and never had one go more than about 100 ft. Thanks Steve and Brian!!
Thank you for sharing!
I have been testing them 2 years.
Getting excellent accuracy and terminal performance with them .
Never was a solid cover bullet fan as the Barnes were terrible.
But Hammer got it RIGHT
Just got some of these I’m gonna try handloading in my .257 weatherby
How did it go? I just bought a 257 weatherby and looking at these.
@@hunter37334man it went awesome. Gonna see how they do on whitetail in November.
75 grain hammer hunter, weatherby/Norma brass, NON MAGNUM primer, reloader 17 powder.
Hitting 4150 fps out of my 24 inch barrel vanguard stainless. Under an inch at 100 yards (ish - paces)
Stupidly flat trajectory. Less than a foot of drop to smoke the gong at 500 yards, about 4 inches high at 300 the way I’ve got it zeroed and about dead on at 400.
@@roadkillanonymous4807 Did you take anything with it? And was there anything left lol? I just loaded some 90g to test in my 25-06 and wanted to go ladder test today but got a migraine. Almost went with the 75g at 3800+ but I got worried about longer shots on mule deer.
@@jcarry5214I did! Whitetail buck, no trophy buck or anything but a full grown big bodied Saskatchewan whitetail deer nonetheless. One shot, actually hit a bit higher and further back than I meant, shooting standing freehand at about 250-300 yards or so. Didn’t matter, went down less than 20 yards from where it was hit, minimal meat damage, broke ribs on entry and one on exit, and yes it exited!!!! Liver and rear portion of lungs taken out, very fast killing bullet. 10/10 recommend them.
@@roadkillanonymous4807 Nice! Sounds like my results on an old stinky mulie in 7mm, but mine was a good broadside at 60. My buddy said it was the best damage he'd ever seen. little entry and good exit with a 3" pipe of goo between. I clipped the heart off but there was hydro shock on the rear of the liver, that's how much it displaced. nice result, especially with a 75! I'm eager to try out the quarter bore. That's a damn good shot freehand brother. I can hit great kneeling at 300, I think I'm only 60% standing at 150 though.
I went out and shot with a human spotter for the first time recently, an experienced marksman who used to compete. He said he's never seen anything as consistent and entrancing as the hammers I'd loaded. At 520 I was easily grouping under 3", maybe 2", shooting over a bag not a bipod out of a mid-tier rifle. Aftermarket barrel but nothing fancy. A guy who thought he'd seen everything still can't stop hollering about it 2 weeks later. Looking forward to my buck and cow hunt next week!
Will there be a 6.5-300 with Hammer Bullets?
God Bless ya'll . Giving God the glory first . I have not even tried them yet but, I did buy some for four of my different calibers . Can't weight to try them. On game.
Weatherby website shows many cartridges that include HCB loadings. Do y'all plan to add HCBs in remaining Wetherby cartridges (e.g., 338 WBY RPM)?
I would really like to develop a good .224 for whitetail deer wish hammer would publish some load data for each caliber that they are making at least a good starting point
I know it's been a while but they are getting stuff up on their site now. There's a page that has user's data but if I link it this will get deleted, if you do a search you should find both.
I remember the HT BULLETS from the early to mid ‘90’s that looked similar just after Barnes came out with the X-Bullet.
Are these a slight copy?
We’re HT BULLETS a consideration in the design?
I remember HT had a Coke bottle shape.
hammer great bullets good price for what they are they have great shipping and in stock when you need them doing great guys
I honestly don’t understand their reasoning on shedding petals
For reloading, can the Barnes data be used safely?
No, you're better off using Nosler data than Barnes TBH. Well, to answer you more accurately it might be safe but nobody uses it, they're the total opposite of Barnes for internal ballistics. Where Barnes is mega-tight in the bore leading to different issues the Hammers are closer to a match bullet in the pressure curve, that's hoe much lighter they are in the barrel.
I'm looking at buying a 416 wby mag left hand rifle and want to run the hammer bullets
I'd rather be blessed then; good, worldly smart...
Jesus is good
Jesus is King
These bullets worked significantly better than the federal trophy copper with expansion tip. Federal had very little blood trail.
Gotta love those companies that refuse to address questions/comments in their video comments section🙄🙄
You can literally call them on the phone or send an email and they'll answer.
I don’t like hammer bullets they are so unpredictable, and they are not consistent. I do not recommend anyone ever buy their bullets. Go watch other videos on hammer bullets. You will see some real in-depth videos on them even the makers of the bullet do not even give you a accurate video.
You've tried them personally and got those results or just watched videos? That's the total opposite of my findings, and the dozens of people I talked to before I tried them. My buddy was a competitive multi discipline shooter and he spotted me one day and said they're more consistent than any match bullet he ever shot. And he was there when I shot my first mule deer and said he'd never seen that much damage. I just searched again and found multiple new videos of people getting great results and just the same complainers making negative videos over and over again. I'd honestly like to be able to hear some actual negative results, because I believe every bullet fails sometimes, but every time I ask someone about their bad experience they have never actually shot anything with them or done real load workup.
I'd say that people who hunt animals in Africa on one trip, using Hammer Bullets, may take more large tough animals than most American hunters take in a lifetime. Watching a few videos of people shooting into water jugs and ballistic gel prove nothing. Weatherby simply would not load their ammunition with bullets that haven't been proven to reliably work.
@@jimeckersley5589 for real, there’s just a few clowns who haven’t tried them on game with vendettas. They literally make things up then get mad when you point out that gel is not wand was never meant to be an accurate simulation of shooting a body.
I love Weatherby rifles and calibers. But Adam Weatherby is a bit of a dick. I
ll will continue to support Weatherby rifles despite Adam.
Tell us how you really feel🤔😳😂
The people I've talked to who met him disagree. What makes you say that?
