[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2829455, member: 7999"] Think the terminal performance comparison of the Power Hammer and the Hammer HHT is the fairest simple comparison. Roughly the same hollow point dimension. The tip has shown a "controlled" expansion, for lack of better terms, in the mid to low velocity impacts making it nearly impossible to study the permanent wound channel and see any difference in performance. Impacts from 2000 fps to about 2600 fps. Permanent wounding that rivals what we see with about 3000 fps impacts from previous Hammers. I don't know if he has time. [USER=120504]@fordy[/USER] is trying to prepare for a safari in Zimbabwe. He can explain in better depth. In testing nearly a 1000 impacts on animals, he phoned me frustrated because the terminal performance is working in a way that he had determined not possible. He has logged and documented bullet performance for somewhere around 20 years. All kinds of bullets of all kinds of designs and materials. He was honestly kind of mad about it. He referred to Brian and I as "you ******", quite a bit! His words are that it takes the smaller to mid size cartridges to magnum terminal performance levels of to 500y. The 308 / 30-06 level of cartridges. Something to that effect. [/QUOTE]
