[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2879833, member: 7999"] It is not typical for Hammers to have a tiny exit hole. Most typical is golf ball sized exit. Sometimes much larger. It is certainly possible to have a small exit, like any other bullet. Once in a while we have a bullet that stays in an animal. Not often unless it is a hard angled shot. Impact to drop is faster with Hammers than I have seen with any other bullet. We just got back from our trip to Aussie to test several new bullet designs. The main testing was with a dangerous game solid. Solids are not known for large terminal wounding. We also tested some larger caliber Hammer HHT's. We shot north of 140 animals. Only one animal traveled farther than 30y after impact. That animal was hit with the first shot by a different well known copper bullet. A lethal shot quartering away on a large bull water buffalo. Then the chase was on. Buffalo was shot 4 more times before he was stopped. About a quarter mile run. The owner of that rifle started loading Hammers the day after we got home. His name is Troy and his main game is taking people out hunting for water buffalo. He was previously very happy with his bullet choice. After seeing somewhere around 50 big game animals taken with the Hammers, he has made the switch. He had no intention of changing and frankly was skeptical that what we had could do anything better. There is no way that he would have switched had he not seen what he saw. Troy sees hundreds of animals shot every year with all kinds of bullets. He very much thought he had the best bullet available, until he took us out hunting. [/QUOTE]
