Anyone have any experience on deer sized game with a .243 cal hammer bullet? Setting up a first deer rifle(243win) for BIL and thinking I should make it a hammer to maximize trauma and penetration.
Anyway, I don't see him taking a shot over 250 for a few years so I'm gravitating to the sledgehammer line. Rifle is a weatherby vanguard and from all research must have a 1-10 twist. Only sledge that lists being able to spin with a 10 twist is the 71 grain.
Any experience with that bullet or any other 6mm hammer on game on here? (long shot in LRH I know)... I'm thinking I can get that up to 3200 or so without leaning on it.
thanks for any help
