Doe Hunt Hammer Prototype Max Distance Minimal Velocity

[HammerBullets]

Doe at shot at 873 yards by Dallas with a 22/284cal, 22 cal. Prototype Hammer Bullet. Predicted impact 1600FPS, 200FPS below 1800FPS recommendation. Deer ran 40 yards and tipped over. Entrance was dime size. Exit was golfball size. Heart was "chum!" Congratulations Dallas. Thanks for the test results.

We are seeing a lower velocity threshold for the prototype than with the Hammer Hunters.

I'm ready for these!! The heavy .224's are right up my alley. I've got a cull hunt at the end of the month, I would love to be a tester lol, although my writing skills are horrible

Run the 73 absolute its hard to beat! If u got enough twist!

I'm shooting them already, I love them. If they have the same performance with a better BC then I'm all in, it sounds like these will be great

873 yds is quite a poke , with a 22 cal . I guess I'll have too build a 22-284 now I already have about everything else but the 6mm on the 284 case what was the MV on that 22-284 prototype .

I have been using hammers in my specialty pistols with very good results. The higher BC and lower threshold for terminal performance with these Hammers would be a blessing for the pistols where velocities are lower to begin with.

This may sound hard to believe , but I built a 25-284 a little over a year ago and got it up to 3874 fps with Lapua brass and rl19 using the 90 gr absolute . My average vel was 3860 fps with 62 grs I backed it down too 61.2 grs for a 3800 fps load the rifle is a 1-8 twist 25 in custom FN Mauser , haven't lost a primer pocket yet. I haven't killed anything yet with it but may have to test it this weekend . That 22-284 would be a neat round low recoil high BC and velocity. I have several donor rifles all I have to do is rebarrell . I have a Grand son that will be shooting soon that would be a great deer carrtridge. I'm curios what is the throating on this cartridge.
