[QUOTE="SMK1000plus, post: 1609128, member: 93846"] What is the twist rate of your barrel? If it's 1 in 10", I'd suggest the181gr Hammer Hunter. You can also use the 199gr Sledge Hammer in 1 in 10" twist for shots within 200 yards. With a 1 in 9" twist you could move up to the199gr or the 214gr Hammer Hunter but, I hardly think that would be necessary. Member TXAoudadKlr recently posted pictures of his 5,000# Cape Buffalo bull that he killed with a single round through the boiler room with a 300 RUM using a 181gr Hammer Hunter bullet! He also posted pictures of the terminal performance of that bullet on his animal. See the thread " Hammer Bullets", page 16. I would think that you'd be well served with any of the four aforementioned bullets, provided your barrel has the proper twist. [/QUOTE]
