Hammer Trail 💨 Arizona Bull

[Rosebud]

Oil inside the hollow point from when it was machined. You can stick a paper clip into one and its covered in oil. Heat from firing burned it off! The larger the calibers the more smoke!

- " hold my beer- ya'll watch this"!

Funny, I didn't notice the beer… it wasn't mine I promise, I was the fella in the camo hat, not the black hat….. besides, I'm a whiskey guy I don't even like beer

Arizona Elk Guide sent me this epic Hammer Trail video of an incredible Bull being shot at 477 Yards with a 6.5 PRC and the 124 Hammer Hunter.

It's a hammer thing. Shot a mule deer and an elk this year in Colorado and the trail was visible in both. Temps were under 10 degrees on both and the impact on both of them were impressive and would have loved to have had video on them. That's a beautiful bull and a huge congratulations!

It was just brought to my attention. This bull was taken with a 6.5 Wby RPM. The hunter is an employee at Weatherby, and the ammo used was put together by John the head ballistician at Weatherby for his hunt. The rifle used was a MkV.

Right on, thanks for the clarification! Any idea on MV?

I don't know. I found out about this when John sent me an email telling me we needed to clarify the rifle. I'm guessing about 3300 fps. I'll see if I can find out what he loaded them to.

Corrected Rifle Info.

I contacted John at Wby to see if he knew the MV. Here is what he sent me back. LOL! This is old school. Makes me think we spend way too much time and money figuring out how our guns are going to shoot, when we should just shoot them and see.

Funny story, He didn't have a chronograph so we don't know the MV out of his rifle. I gave him a starting load amount and figured he would work up load from there.
1st starting load shot so well he just stayed there. He shot it out to 500 or 600 yards so he knew his drops and just dialed his scope on the shot on the elk.
From my data that load should be running around 3250 fps.
