[QUOTE="Iamnotagolem, post: 2894427, member: 75909"] To get "dropped in their tracks" performance out of the Hammers, where are you guys hitting them (deer specifically)? I notice in the majority of conversations about bullet effectiveness, that very important factor is often left out. I'm planning to whitetail hunt on my 6 wooded acres this season and have zero desire to ask my neighbors if it's cool if I track a wounded deer across their property. My current plan for my 13 year old son and I was to high shoulder shoot them. Him with his 20" 6.5 CM and me with my 6.5 PRC, both using a 147gr ELD-M. If I get the time to see which single bullet and powder will work for both cartridges, am I still going with the high shoulder shot, or does the speed and fracturing of the bullet mean I can heart/lung them and have a 90%+ chance they'll go less than 30 yards? 30-50 yard shots out of a tree stand.
