[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1491431, member: 313"] I've just started to work with Hammer bullets but I must say that I'm fairly impressed. I have loaded the 143 HH bullet in my 7WSM and the 181 HH in my 30Nosler. With a bit of load work they were both capable of shooting under 2" at 400yds, which is the farthest backstop at our club. A few weeks ago I got a chance to see how the 181 HH performed on game. I took a 342yd shot at a bull elk that was standing broadside. Bullet impacted just behind the shoulder but above the midline. At the shot, the bull took a few steps, stopped and fell over in under 10 seconds. He thrashed around for another 10 seconds and it was over. Based on the many stories that I've read regarding the tenacity of bull elk I never expected such a quick kill. I'll be leaving for a whitetail hunt soon. I intended to use a 6.5 Creedmoor with the Berger 135 Classic Hunter bullet. This combo shoots into 1.5" @ 400yds and I'm sure the little Berger is up to the task. However, Hammer bullets has a 110gr 6.5mm Hunter bullet that really has me thinking. Hmmmmmm [/QUOTE]
