[QUOTE="Hespco, post: 1608703, member: 109476"] I personally have never user a Hammer. Ever since Barnes brought out the original "X" bullet I have been using the 120gr X & now the 120 TSX. Loaded in my 6.5x308 wildcat ( before 260 R came out ) Savage 260 Rem & 6.5x55 , 6.5-06 have all taken elk each year with complete success. Have never lost an elk or recovered one of these bullets. They have given excellent accuracy in all my rifles . Many times they have had to penetrate heavy bone & have never failed to do so. A friend who shoots a 308 uses the Barnes 150gr mono & takes elk cleanly with complete penetration. When I say complete penetration I don't mean just thru the rib cage, but thru thick muscle & heavy bone on angled shots. We seem to get far more angled shots than broad side. By far over the years our shots have been 200 yds & under. Only a hand full beyond this. Longest shot I recall was 347 yds. No problem. [/QUOTE]
