Not a Hammer. Guaranteed. mtmuley

Those are not Hammers, not even close to a Hammer.

I took a peek at the cutting edge website their stuff has a raised rounded (radius) band and does not have relief grooves with a square edge like your mystery bullets have. I did come across some sig bullets in 165 and 168gr here https://www.blackstonebullets.com/copper-bullets/#rifle-bullets

And another on raven rocks via shooting bot SCI 165 https://ravenrocksprecision.com/product/sci-300-win-mag-165gr-scx-bt-solid-copper-50ct/

Both of those show three square cut relief groves no tip. If you can throw one into a water jug at modest velocity to see if it fractures or peels back that would help provide some more into. Unless we are already past the three day window for the guy.

As has been said not hammers. I have some makers and one box of cutting edge. Cutting edge has a much better finish on the box I have. For lehigh I only have a box of pistol bullets no nubs mild concave base. I checked my boxes of makers. My oldest box that I got several years ago does have nubbins. Their finishes have improved since then. All of the makers I have visible slits on the bullets but I also have only bought their hunting bullets. They might not bother on their match stuff.

I am betting that @Burn Pile has it with Maker Bullets.

The Ravenrocks are a strong possibility at least for appearance even though they are 3gr. lighter they would load the same.
I loaded up the last of the others for him so it's pretty much done and done. He does have an uncle that also reloads back in Oklahoma so hopefully he can help him out also.
He and his wife and 1 kid came out here about a year ago but couldn't break into the Operating Engineers union for a decent paying job. Now he and wife and 2 kids are heading back to regroup with a couple of job promises back there. It's unfortunate that it's so expensive to live out here unless you have something solid lined up you can count on.
