Weatherby‘s Hammer Custom line in 28 Nosler (brand part no. M28NS163HCB) loads a 163-grain Hammer bullet for hunters who want maximum terminal effect from one of the largest unbelted magnum cases in production. 28 Nosler pushes a 7mm-class bullet to genuinely extreme velocity, and Weatherby pairs it here with a solid, monolithic copper bullet rather than a traditional lead-core design. Flutes machined into the bullet’s flat nose generate hydraulic force through tissue on impact, producing a large wound channel without relying on the bullet expanding or fragmenting the way a jacketed bullet does. Because the bullet is solid rather than jacketed, it holds onto essentially all of its original weight through the shot. For 28 Nosler hunters who want maximum penetration at extreme velocity, this rifle ammunition is built for that mission.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Hammer Custom bullet expand? No, it’s a solid, monolithic design; its flutes generate hydraulic force through tissue instead of relying on expansion.

What game is this load built for? Its penetration and weight retention suit the largest, toughest big game at 28 Nosler’s extreme velocity and range.

Why choose a solid bullet over a traditional expanding one? A solid bullet retains essentially all of its weight and drives straight through heavy bone, where an expanding bullet might shed mass and slow down.
