[QUOTE="snox801, post: 2066560, member: 54383"] I see your line of thinking but think it’s lacking. For the most part u are right. That being said I’ve never been able to catch a shank from a hammer or cutting edge. So penetration is equal and I’ve shot a good amount of African game. Now the real problem is with the way bulldozer and Barnes act at long range. You are correct they petal out. Which I believe at slower speed the hammers will do. But the badlands has a higher bc. But is a useless bc in my book because they take more FPS to open correctly that bc is meaningless. Run the numbers on both once. See where the lowest FPS for the bullet puts you. 1800 I believe is it for badlands and Barnes 1600fps for hammer. Now you can tend to drive hammers and cutting edge faster than the other two because of the design. That design lowers bc but adds speed. So between the extra starting FPS and the lower opening speed I bet the hammer still wins as a long range. No if the goal is pigs and other eradication animals or targets sure but a mono just won’t beat a cup core at that game. So I think the hammer still is the best hunting bullet you can get. [/QUOTE]
