[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1493827, member: 30902"] Never been a fan of the JLK's myself. We're not going to have much choice. In the next five years we'll probably see all federal lands go NT and the democratic controlled states will not be far behind. Even in republican controlled states the DNR"s and NRC's tend to be run by far lefties so NT is just what we're going to have to get used to. I'd rather be on the front end connected with the top companies like Hammer and Peregrine than sucking wind when they give us the final gut kick. Five years ago you couldn't have given me a box of solid brass or copper bullets to try for free even if you loaded them for me but since my experience in Africa five years ago I saw the light and since then have proven their worth both at the range and on hundreds of animals. Barnes is probably a close third but I'm so far pretty unimpressed with their terminal performance, they tend to shed petals and punch through with little or no expansion. We've been shooting the original Barnes X since about 72 in our 17 Rem's but their copper bullets just don't quite get it done for me. Everyone I know shooting the Hammers far has been very pleased and whatever else you want to say about Steve he knows his business, does an immense amount of personal field testing and is as responsive to customer feedback as anyone in the business. Like the guys at Peregrine he doesn't sleep much because he's always out there developing the next better bullet. We are truly blessed to have people like that in our industry. [/QUOTE]
