[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2522916, member: 7999"] Since I was mentioned I'll throw in my .02. The 25-06 is a great cartridge. Fast, flat, and comfortable to shoot. Impact velocity is a wonderful thing as long as you have a bullet that can deal with it. As mentioned earlier, the 92g Hammer Hunter will run about 3500 fps in the 25-06. This is hold hair to 400y plus. The Hammer Hunter is pure copper and will not blow up on impact. It is designed to shed the nose in a few pieces. This shedding of the nose will give the massive initial wound channel and shock that shuts animals off, but because the shed weight is a few pieces and not the mist that comes from lead bullets, the resulting meat damage is minimal. After shedding, the retained shank will have a nice flat front that displaces soft tissue perpendicular to it's line of travel. That, along with the petals that track along with the retained shank, will create a large permanent wound all the way through the animal. Straight line penetration, even on quartering shots that will get all the way through. You will see more meat damage from bone fragments than from the bullets. To sum it up. Hammers don't have any issues handling high velocity launches or high velocity impacts. Our whole reason for making bullets was this exact topic. We wanted to make our deer nice and dead without blowing them up. Terminal performance is the number one most important aspect of producing Hammer Bullets. We will not sacrifice terminal performance for anything. Speed kills! [/QUOTE]
