[QUOTE="choprzrul, post: 2975425, member: 121411"] I’ve shot 4 deer with my 25-06 using 90gr Absolute Hammers going over 3600 fps at the muzzle….and 1 deer with my 6.5Cm using 85gr Hammer Hunters going just over 3400 fps at the muzzle. One bang/flop/zero twitch and the other 4 never made it past 40 yards. The one deer I deboned in the field had a hole through the far side shoulder with zero bloodshot meat….quite literally eat up to the hole…which is what I did. Terminal performance has been stellar for me in the field. A week ago I did a load development ladder on my new 270 WSM XBolt using 122gr HHT Hammers. 4 cleaning/warmup shots, 5 more rounds in 1% powder increments to find signs of pressure, backed down 2% and fired 2 more rounds to check group size. 11 rounds total to get a 0.4” group found. Those are 1/2” squares: [ATTACH type="full"]521758[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
