[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1889745, member: 54383"] You made a great choice. I have been extremely pleased with the 124gr hammer. I’ve dropped many many deer, pigs, a audad, and nice Corsican ram, and a few sika deer with that bullet out of my 6.5 creed. Longest kill was 489 yards on a pig with a still 22mph wind but it was steady. Also if found it helpful to shoot 50-100 rounds of something cheap like eld out of a new build to get the barrel broke in. Then give it a good scrub down, then start your load work with hammers or other premium bullet. You will usually see a speed gain. Nothing wrong with starting with hammers if you are not gonna shoot it a ton. Just be sure to keep an eye on your velocity from the first load. You can sometimes see a good gain in speed so the load may need to be adjusted. [/QUOTE]
