[QUOTE="Jonoton, post: 1816259, member: 100300"] Hello, I have shot one cow elk with a 143gr Hammer Hunter, 3350 MV My shot ended up being at less than 100 yards. Perfect performance, broken ribs on entry and exit and full pass through with MASSIVE blood loss through the exit - blood spurting 6 feet with each heart beat. Lungs destroyed. Why I am going to stick with them: -load development was easy and quick -the bullet held together at close range - I like buying from a company where I can call the owner himself and get help or advice If I had been shooting a 'true long range' bullet like an ABLR, the chip shot that presented itself might have been too close. I think that the Hammer will perform throughout my entire ethical-for-me range (0 to 600) I don't really enjoy reloading and experimenting. I am positive there are other bullets that would meet my needs. The Hammer did so with minimal load dev for what I want to do. If I were committed to extending my comfortable range to 1000, then I would be looking at other options as well. 600 is enough for me. [/QUOTE]
