    Hammer Bullets

    They say they are going to be doing orders on their website for Aus and NZ. I never tried them, but plenty of US hunters rate them. Could be good news if they can supply the quantities we all need.

    They are great. Easy to get to shoot and devastating.

    117 grn 3450 fps in my .270wsm.

    The freight on them from the US is horrendous though. Makes them very expensive.

    This was an angled shot with them at 275 yds(exit).

    I read that they are very expensive once freight costs are added, but at least it seems they are available. Perhaps ordering in bigger batches and sharing shipping costs will be cheaper?

    When you come back to NZ @southernman I'd be keen to test drive some of the .17 cal. All 1:9 minimum I see
