[QUOTE="jebel, post: 1773977, member: 106189"] I took a mule deer this year with the 102 gr Hammer Hunter in .243 caliber (6 Creedmoor). I realize that doesn't help you much re. the 71 or 88 gr Sledge Hammers, though I would have no qualms using those bullets. My shot was less than 100 and did everything expected. I imagine you will easily surpass 3,200 fps with the 71 gr Sledge Hammer in 243 Win. Likely easily surpass 3,400. You'd probably be in the 3,200 fps range shooting the 88 gr Sledge Hammer. By my estimate, you'd need to be at about 3,500' elevation to get a stability factor of 1.5 with the 88 gr Sledge Hammer from a 243 Win. [/QUOTE]
