[QUOTE="Huntnful, post: 2673957, member: 116563"] Here's my own personal 30 cal comparison shot out of my rifle with my own loads and with trued BC's out to 1000 yards. The 181 Hammer and a 225 ELDM. Hammer holds the impact velocity out to 500 yards. 50% more wind drift. A slight edge in drop at distance, 3-10%. [ATTACH=full]413978[/ATTACH] And my 7mm personal comparison with my own loads and trued BC's at 1000 yards. 169 Hammer and 195 EOL berger. Very similar to the 30 cal test. [ATTACH=full]413979[/ATTACH] Just my view point. Shoot hammers if you want deeper penetration and if you want higher impact velocities out to about 500 yards. Also a little less drop. Shoot high BC lead if you care about not having 50% more wind drift & higher impact velocities PAST 500 yards. And quite a bit more "energy" but I don't focus on that much. I shoot them both, and have killed animals with both. Both bullet types have 1000's of kills to their records. They both obviously work very well. I think they are terminally comparable, and ballistically uncomparable for long range. Meaning 1000 yards. I don't think you can or should "pick on" other brands or bullets. We do A LOT of comparisons in the field ourselves as well, with unbiased analysis. The numbers and stacks of animals (from both bullets) don't lie. I think people should shoot what fits their needs and wants 🤷♂️. I am curious what bullets you guys would pick to stack against those 30 cal and 7mm bullets that I chose though! [/QUOTE]
