[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1316944, member: 70559"] Edited to add: It looks like I was typing while Steve was posting. I have no financial interest in the Hammer Company; except for them to stay in business so I can buy their bullets. Now back to my regularly scheduled post. GSCustoms are the most accurate bullets I ever used. Here's the problem I had with them. After dialing them in in a .257 wildcat running the HV85 at 3,919 feet per second I took them hunting. I'm talking about ten shots in 3/4" from a Weatherby mark V Ultralight six lug with an all up weight of six pounds thirteen ounces. The muzzle of the barrel measures .550". First was a sheep. The guide thought I was missing. At no more than fifty yards I put one through the chest slightly quartering from the rear. It entered the back of the right side of the chest and exited behind the left shoulder. We tracked it for about forty-five minutes and I put another through the chest broadside at maybe 100 yards. It went about fifty yards and laid down with its head up. Only the front of its chest and head were visible. The guide wanted to know if I could "thread one in there" from where we were. Again I put one in the chest. This time it was dead. When he skinned it he guide was surprised all the shots were in the chest. Next I went to another state to hunt deer. I shot straight on in the chest with the same bullet about fifty yards. It dropped. I casually jacked out the shell and put it in my pocket. The the deer jumped up and started from left to right. Again I put one through the chest almost broadside. I and another guy saw it stumble but continue. After trailing it for about fifteen minutes I came upon it from about twenty feet. Again I shot it in the chest as it got up. It dropped but continued breathing so I shot it in the head. Then I went hunting in my own state. Again I shot a deer from about sixty yards quartering from the right rear. The shot entered near the right hip and angled forward and exited right behind the left shoulder.
