[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1393294, member: 7999"] There is a lot of talk about saving your money and shooting inexpensive bullets because you are not intending to shoot long range. I guess that is all well and good, but in the end the cost of your bullets is relatively inexpensive compared to all the eqipment that goes into the hunt. If your inexpensive bullets take a couple hundred to get your load tuned in compared to 20 Hammer Bullets you are no longer money ahead withthe cheap bullets. If you intend to eat your target and the cost meat is valued at $3/lb, 10 lbs of lost meat from a shoulder hit compared to 1 or 2 lbs lost when using Hammer Bullets from the same shot, again not saving much money. Lots of arguments about lead in the meat, but given a choice in a resurant to have a steak with a little lead in it or one that is lead free, I know what your choice would be. At the ranges you are talking about shooting our Sledge Hammer bullet line is the perfect normal range hunting bullet. If you would like to extend the range of your rifle look at the Hammer Hunter line. The 124g Hammer Hunter will run just over 3000fps in the Creed and the 110g Hammer Hunter will run about 3150+fps. This bullet is a great combination of speed and bc for hunting shots out to 500y. Let me know if I can answer any questions. 406-261-0010 Steve [/QUOTE]
