Official Hammer bullets Terminal Performance (picture heavy)

143 Grain Hammer Hunter out of a 28 Nosler at 100 yards on this CO buck. Slightly quartering towards me. Hit on back of right front shoulder with excellent immediate expansion and full penetration out the left side. This bullet was likely still going about 3250 fps on impact and performed flawlessly.

I shot this bull at 427 yards with my 270 wsm 1-9twist , 126hammers at 3450fps. Bullet traveled thru both shoulder leaving a 2" hole thru both lungs and exited bull went 10yards and dropped . This was my first kill with hammer bullets and it wont be my lasts

I smacked a whitetail the opposite way as adk. Quartering to hard, hit him just behind the shoulder and it came out just ahead of the rear quarter. Bullet didn't even think about slowing down. 280 AI with 143 HH. I'll get pics when I go back to the cooler. I'm really impressed with the performance.
 
Big New Mexico cow elk
143gr HH, 7mmWSM @3300fps muzzle
Range: 100 yds
Double lung broadside
Full penetration, massive blood loss through exit wound, busted ribs on entry and exit, lungs shredded and some shrapnel got into the guts a bit, perforating the stomach. I found one copper petal in exit wound, but no other bullet fragments.
Cow walked downhill 5 yards, turned to face uphill again and stood there with blood spraying 6 feet. It picked its head up to look downhill again, so I put one more through the lungs, but I am sure this second shot was entirely unnecessary.
I'll use these again!

My first hammered deer... .280 AI 131 HH going...? 150 yards quartering away high lung to lower off shoulder. Found two petals and the main shank got trapped in the upper leg . Both pics of holes are entrance side...
Is this considered successful for hammer bullets? Are they designed to come apart?
