Lead free bullets

Have you used or heard of Hammer bullets? Solid copper for lead free zones I would guess. For those in the know, opinions??

I've worked up loads for a friend's 308, they shot sub-moa at 100 right off the bat. I have not shot them further. Long range hunters talk about them quite a bit because they offer good accuracy and better BCs than other copper options.

Pretty expensive option if you're just shooting flea bag coyotes in standard predator calibers.

Ya I noticed they were a little pricey. I don't need them here as of yet.

Why not just shoot Barnes Bullets?

The adfitional cost isn't a big deal just for game, but I wouldn't target shoot with them or shoot varmints much. Nosler lead free has that covered pretty well in 224 and 6mm.

Hammers are great. Very easy to tune and effective on game. Just pay attention the recommended twist rates.
