[QUOTE="unclecroc, post: 2560984, member: 120941"] I have used absolute hammers on groundhogs and they definitely open up but the kills aren’t as dramatic as a regular varmint bullet due to the nature of what it is designed for. You will always get and exit on woodchucks and coyotes so be mindful. I’ve also used absolute hammers on deer as well and they preform flawlessly just like the regular hammer hunter terminally. If you are ok with shooting a bullet that costs what they do at groundhogs go for it it will work well for what you’re wanting to do. Just note that they take special attention for load development due to the reduced pressure. Most guys seem to have good luck with slightly faster powders than the normal burn rate for that particular weight and case. Happy hunting. [/QUOTE]
