Hammer Bullets

[Grantness]

Hammer Bullets has some offerings in .224 that look interesting. Does anyone have any experience with these?

Maybe. They make some of the best turned bullets money can buy.

Lost one primer at 7.3gr. Safe to assume this is past Max…

Very interesting! How was the impulse on the 51g hammer? Also, not sure if I am blind but did you list a powder somewhere?

[Grantness]

Powder is Shooter’s World Major Pistol. Kick is fairly sharp with the 51gr Hammer at those charges.

Unfortunately, had a spontaneous disassembly at 7.8gr. The next round chambered and the fired case did not show any unusual signs of over-pressure. Likely a stress fracture from 15 years of abuse…

Nonetheless, proceed w caution

Holy shit man.
