[QUOTE="OrionsStar, post: 1739308, member: 50448"] I agree Steve is very helpful. I started loading for a 270 Win. With my twist of 1:10, I loaded per Hammers web direction of the 117gn. HH. Very easy to load for. Seems as if they are not very finicky when hand loading. Very accurate and very impressed. First kill was at 501 yards on a blacktail. Hit the left shoulder center mass. The bullet exited the off side shoulder and was not recovered. The lungs were mush. A nice clean slice buy one of the petals cut the top of the heart. The buck went about 10 feet and was DRT. Second blacktail was at just under 300 yards facing straight on, as he busted me. Held center chest with a perfect shot placement. The buck went about 8 yards down hill on it's rear legs and piled up DRT. Found two petals in the chest area. I found the base at the groin just under the skin. Chest internals were vaporized and mush. The base was intact (as it was designed to do) and went through the gut like a solid. Deer had no idea what hit him. Bottom line, I like the hammers so well I am building a 6.5 SST to shoot the Hammer Hunters. It will be a 1:7 twist. I plan to shoot the 139, 137 and 124 gn HH. I am hoping the 139 shoot well. I believe I will be very happy with the HH results! Jim [/QUOTE]
