[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1193898, member: 7999"] We only recovered one bullet. It was from a cow that I shot at 400y facing me slightly quartered. That bullet stopped in the hide just in front of the far hind quarter. I posted a pic of that bullet in another thread. That bullet started at 183g and weighed 146g when done. So 80% weight retention. That would be pretty typical for our bullets. They will shed the nose to the depth of the hollow pt. then become a square face blunt like a dangerous game bullet. The shed petals cause peripheral damage while the square face of the expanded bullet displaces soft tissue perpendicular to the direction of bullet travel. This will cause a larger permanent wound channel than a rounded mushroom typical to a lead core bullet. The Hammer Hunter bullets are designed for deep penetration and large permanent wound channel in the soft tissue organs. I have a heck of a time with the photos. I will go find it in a previous thread and copy it here. Steve [/QUOTE]
