[QUOTE="dogz, post: 2230748, member: 5429"] Looking at my records from the last few years from here to 505 yards using standard 55-63 grain bullets in my 14 twist 22/250 critters went absolutely straight down 93.3% of the time. With rare exception do they take a step, and these are with lung shots not breaking bone (intentionally) When using a hard bullet, that ratio changes a fair bit. By hard I am talking Partition, Trophy Bonded, Barnes of one generation or another. Keep in mind they all died, it's just that with a hard bullet they will run farther most all the time.... I would expect to see the very same with Hammers. Especially out the 300-500 yard ranges. I might get some lighter Hammers to try in my 14 twist and see how it goes but my other bullets kill so quickly it's tough to wander far off base anymore. I'm kind of to an age of trying things just doesn't turn my crank much anymore. Can't decided if that's good or bad...:) [/QUOTE]
