[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2846559, member: 117774"] I admit I was the biggest skeptic of the Hammer bullets when I started reading about them and had used Barnes bullets for the past 20 years with great success. So knowing the only way to prove them good or bad was to to try them on my annual elk hunt. I got hammer Absolutes tuned in one rifle and Hammer Hunters in another - both 280 AI's. Turns out, my friend had scope issues so he borrowed my back up. We both took elk and I would say shot placement was not the best on both. But neither animal took another step after being struck and a quick follow up shot was needed. The distance on both animals was close to 400 yds. I'm not sure another bullet would have immobilized both animals as the Hammers did, but I am beginning to be a believer in their performance. We have taken two other elk with Hammer Hunters since, but they were hit perfect and dropped where they stood. Although this is a small sample of their effectiveness, I will try them again this season. By changing powders, i have increased my velocities and it is reflected in the terminal performance. So far, I see nothing to dispute the claims of this manufacturer. [/QUOTE]
