[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1591586, member: 7999"] Just got a call from a customer who took a cow elk at just under 900y with the 143g Hammer Hunter from his 28N. Shot the cow quartered to him through the point of the shoulder and exiting the far side just behind the rib cage. Cow took 2 steps and dropped. He said the bullet created the same damage as the cow he shot at 200y. Then his buddy used his rifle to take a 330 class bull at just over 500y pure broadside lung shot. Bull took a few steps and fell over before he could get another shell chambered. We run this bullet in our 280ai's at about 3200fps, depending on barrel length. This will be good medicine to about 800y for elk. You should typically see 50-100 fps increase in vel compared to conventional lead core bullets of like weight. Definitely an increase in vel over non-drive band mono bullets. Recommend magnum primers to give quicker ignition with the lower engraving pressure. [/QUOTE]
