[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1566554, member: 64108"] For the ranges you are shooting ballistics hardly come in to play, inside 100 yards you could shoot the bullet backwards and not notice, as a matter of fact it is more stable flying backwards. In my GF's '06 I run a 130 grain at ~3,300 fps and it beats the heavier bullets in speed, energy, and is much flatter out to ~1,000 yards. You can probably get close to 3,100 fps with the 152 grain sledge hammer which will be a devastating round. Call Steve at Hammer and get his opinion or maybe he will chime in. This cow was hit at 640 yards with a 143 Hammer Hunter at 3,620 fps from a 7mm RUM and just stood there pouring out blood[ATTACH=full]120991[/ATTACH] for 10 seconds then did a face plant. Hammers perform great and are easy to load for. [/QUOTE]
