[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 2701563, member: 108576"] I haven't had any long shots with Hammers yet but they do kill.No chasing animals very far. A few years ago my brother and I went hog hunting and I would have never used a 223 for hunting but he said it's like Thor's Hammer. I shot 3 hogs,the first died on the spot and the second died within a few feet and the third was not a great shot as he was moving on and my brother finished him with one shot.Post mortem showed why he chose that 52 gr Hammer Hunter.Insides were liquid.Not a lot of meat lost but heart and lungs were liquid. I was sold on them back then. I bough some 180 gr 166gr and 152 gr 30 cal bullets,180 for 300 win mag,166 for 30-06 and 152 for 308 although a 124 would work just as good and more velocity. Super easy for load development if you clean your barrel to bare metal before you ever shoot a Hammer. Edit to mention,They are always in stock!Berger and Nosler and others can't say that [/QUOTE]
