[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1988276, member: 30671"] Well circle is a bit more complete. Took the rifle out for antelope. If there was any doubt the 124 Hammer started at 3960 fps would take antelope at 90 yards, we've put that to rest LOL! Strange year all around, the day I was going to put the rifle through some pre-season paces, I woke up unable to walk, and that's pretty much been the situation since. Fortunately good friends got me there and back, and a cooperative buck gave his all to finalize the season. It took little searching for a position I could get into, but standing, with a modified rest from the UTV proved very solid. Rifle is heavy enough for the recoil, spotting hits is pretty easy. Impact created a visible wave in the animal, zero wiggle, massive blood loss, some loss of meat, but certainly not comparable with lead core bullets I've used. We heard the impact, and It was a significant slap. I'll try to add a picture or 2, friend took them, and downloading them from the "cloud" has eluded me. So start to finish-that's how such a project develops. There maybe more in the distant future, but short term I've got a date with neurosurgeon. A thank you to Hammer, and all the others bringing this together. [/QUOTE]
