[QUOTE="BEEMAN, post: 2034026, member: 38130"] I run the 124 HH out of my 6.5x47. This gun is used for tree stand hunting thick bush in Manitoba. I’ve killed two whitetail bucks now with this combo. Last years was 50 yds this year about 35 yds. Buck last year was slightly quartering to. Hit him in the shoulder and exited on other shoulder completely destroying the big leg bone and sending bone fragments everywhere. DRT. This year at 35 yds was almost a facing me shot. Shot buck at neck shoulder junction and exited at last rib on opposite side. Exit was about 1.5” wide and penetrated a total of 30”. The x47 is no hot rod but shoots the 124 HH at 2938 FPS. So impact velocity will still be pretty high at these ranges. I couldn’t be more impressed with the Hammers. Will be ordering more shortly as I’m going to convert a few guns over to the hammers now.
