Hammer bullets are exceptional in all regards and are winning many fans in the hunting community. Hammer premium lead-free bullets produce exceptional accuracy and dramatic terminal performance.

I’ve ordered many different custom loads from Hendershots and they all shoot amazingly well. 280 AI in 160 grain accubond are amazing.

I placed a custom ammo order for my 280 Ackley Improved and my order arrived at my home in Arizona 13 days later. I couldn’t be more pleased with the faster than promised turnaround. The paperwork that accompanied the shipment provided me with detailed ballistics information for my specific bullet and velocity. While I have not yet taken my new ammo to the range (just received my order this afternoon) I did check the OAL, inspected each cartridge and chambered all 20 rounds in my rifle. Excellent consistency!!
Looking forward to my visit the the range this weekend.

Follow up from my previous review. The ammo shot .5 MOA in my 280AI Cooper at the range and in September I made a successful 376 yard shot on a Wyoming Antelope. Very pleased with the results and the service I received from Hendershots.

If you want hand load performance and don’t want to hand load Hendershots is the ammo supplier for you. Good service lots of options for bullet and bullet weight. I’ve always had outstanding and consistent performance no matter what caliber I have ordered.
