Curious of people's experience with these? What caliber, velocity, and results down range. Eventually want to run these in a suppressed 20" 7prc. Is 3000+ MV a reasonable expectation?

Look at Hammer Hunter and Absolute Hammer load data on this Forum. You'll see speeds people are achieving.
I tried them in a savage 280 AI I put together. Got the action cheap and had never tried a savage before. Shoots good. I believe I used H100V for around 3150-3160 FPS out of a 24" IBI 1-7.5" twist. No on game experience. My thinking was it would be a good tree stand bullet for deer?

3000' should be easy. My 7mm Sherman max shoots them at 3150' in a 21" barrel. Easy to load for. U won't be disappointed.
Only articles/threads so far seem to suggest Deadblows cause a bit more meat damage than regular Hammers. Maybe a bit more violent? But very lethal

I almost decapitated a raccoon with a .17cal running 4925FPS at 125 yards with Dead Blow. It was foreward shot. Hit just at base of neck.
The first Coon was perfect broadside. Could barely see entrance or exit. Took 10 paces and died.

I figured that would have vaporized everything above his shoulders
