[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1890494, member: 33159"] I’m sure Steve will chime in here (he’s one of the owners of Hammer Bullets). You have to drive monolithic bullets faster, so it’s always preferred to go down in weight. But, they retain at least 70% of their weight in a nasty jagged core that drives through the animal. The front petals peel back and shear off like shrapnel. So you get great performance with a lighter bullet compared to having a heavier cup and core traditional bullet. Plus, you overcome some of the BC issues with velocity. [/QUOTE]
