[QUOTE="Bullmark, post: 2167118, member: 113003"] So I’ve hunted for 35yrs, have come to own and shoot many diff calibers, and know a lot more than the average member of the hunting community.....but I am def a newbie when it comes to long range shooting, reloading, and bullet composition/performance. So my question might seem a little basic. Anyway, these solid copper Hammer bullets are interesting. I understand the concept and realize the speed increase with lighter bullets, and the pro’s of a flatter path. My question is how light can you go and still have ethical killing power on specific target animals? I’ve always stepped up the weight of the bullet as the body size of my quarry increased. Ordinarily I’d never consider shooting an Elk with a 131g bullet......however with the speeds generated coupled with the bullet design/composition, it seems like a fine choice. So, how light can you go?? Thanks for all the comments.....the amount of knowledge shared daily by this forum’s members is crazy....I’m lucky to have found it. [/QUOTE]
