[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 2264691, member: 105681"] I have always been an Accubond guy but when CA passed no lead law I went to Hammer's and Barnes LRX. I'm shooting a 308 win with 152 HH over Varget. Opening weekend was last weekend. On Sunday I shot this beautiful chocolate bear at 175 yds. He bolted at the shot and ran down into a creek bed about 100 yds away. As I was walking back to my truck I spotted a decent 3 ptr at 250 yds. I went for high shoulder since the buck was close to my property line. Dropped where he stood. Not even a kick. I recovered the deer and then met my brother who was coming to help me as he heard the impacts. This would be an hour or so later now so we went to recover the bear. We found the bear dead in the creek bed about 150 feet where I last saw him. There was a good blood trail and I hit him right in the rib cage destroying one lung the liver and passing thru and coming out with a quarter size exit by its hip. This is from a 20" barrel 308 so the velo is methodical at 2760 fps. I'm really happy with the Hammer bullets! No blood shot. Pass through with a good wound channel. I always want 2 holes in everything I shoot. Boat with 2 holes sinks faster than a boat with 1 hole. Good blood trail on the bear. Lungs were jellied in the deer and it didn't move a step. I didn't weight the bear but 167 lbs of meat tells me the bear was probably 250 lbs on the paw. I attached some pictures for you guys to check out. Hammers are the real deal. [/QUOTE]
