[QUOTE="Josh06, post: 2335554, member: 111314"] I am using hammers for the first time this year in 3 guns. I shot my first animal with a hammer on Sunday evening, a pretty big boar about 200ish lbs. I hit him low in the chest with a 140gr absolute hammer from a 280ai, impact velocity was about 3000. This produced the easiest to follow blood trail I have ever seen not in snow. He ran about 50-75 yards in a U shape, falling about 30 yards from where he was hit. Blood trail was about a foot wide the whole time....I was shocked there was enough blood in the thing to make the trail as long as it was. When I gutted him, the heart had several holes, assuming from petals and shank or maybe rib fragments. Not a very big sample but way more blood than I've seen from other copper solids. I've killed hogs with barnes and lehigh bullets but never got a blood trail like this from them. [/QUOTE]
