[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 2836795, member: 73596"] POST HUNT UPDATE ON HAMMER BULLETS! Well, for those that remember how this post started, it was initiated to get feedback on performance of and suggestions for a Hammer Brand Bullet that would work well at short range. The initial assumption was that I would be shooting a 308 win. I had to send that rifle off to have tge bolt retired, so.I switched to a 300 WSM. Short story is that the 181 grain Hammers really did a number on both bears that we shot. The shots were short, as expected. One bear was then through both lungs, the other was a heart shot. Neither made it more than 35 yards. And, that turned out to be very important as my son and I both bears out of the same stand, within 15 minutes of one another, and having two blood trials originating from the same thick woods can be tricky. I wanted to give a special thanks to a very generous member who sent me two different weights of bullets to try out, and we ultimately killed both bear with bullets that were given to me by this generous member. You know who you are! My 15 year old amd I had a great time with the team at Sask Can Outfitters out of Big River Saskatchewan. Vern and Norma run a first class outfit. Felt like home. Here are some pictures of our bear. [/QUOTE]
