[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 2228419, member: 11960"] I got busy and completely forgot to call them. I'll reach out to them tommorrow. Sorry, I forgot about that one. It penetrated exactly 16" (one block) and actually bounced off the face of the second block. You can actually see the bullet bounce off the block and land on the table in the video. Retained weight was 87.6gr. I used the 145 ELDx for all my barrel break in and fire forming in both the 270 barrels and they shot pretty well through all of that. They do appear to hold together better 140gr Gamechanger in the test when both impacted at roughly the same velocity. Both the 140 TGK and the 145 ELDx shoot within 30fps with the same load. I probably will get around to testing the 175gr Gamechangers as well. I keep telling myself to buy some to test, but never get around to it! I do have some 124gr and 180gr Hammer Hunters that I'm going to test out of the 300 RUM. I'll also mention that the guys at Hammer Bullets were a[B] huge[/B] help and sent me sample boxes of one light and one heavier bullet in 6.5mm, 7mm, 270, and 308 to test. The goal is to compare the results of a light for caliber bullet and a more conventional weight bullet. All of the Hammer bullets I've tested so far (and a few more coming up) are styles that I already shoot in my guns, I'll get to the 30 caliber ones soon, I just need to free up some brass for the 300 RUM. I never shoot that rifle so I only have like 40 pieces of brass sitting around for it! LOL If you (or anyone else) wanted to help with the tests, I'm always open to folks sending me a handful of whatever bullet they'd like to see tested. I switched most of my hunting guns over the Hammers a few years back and burned through a lot of my other odds and ends for plinking ammo over the years. Bergers are a bullet everyone likes to see, but the only Berger I still shoot is the 300gr OTM!
