[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1830216, member: 87243"] In the last 3 years we have taken 4 animals in the 900 yard range, two deer, an antelope and an elk. 5 others in the 800 yard range, and the rest bunch up between 400 and 700, with the average range we take game being in the upper 600 yard range. That is an average of around 40-50ish critters these last 3 years. So I know how it goes needing a bullet for the extended distances. I like the performance of the hammers and have a few I'll be doing load developement with, but I have to be careful which ones I go with, I need the highest bc ones he offers, I don't want to be stuck in a situation where I can't take a shot I normally could due to a lack of velocity or energy from a lower bc. It would be awesome if they had the bc of the bergers, if that were the case I likely wouldn't use anything else. But when 600+ is your bread and butter shots.....unfortunately bc is a signficant factor. The 285 Hammer is gonna be nice in my .338 Norma though, it seems to like them, and at 2780 fps I think it should do the job!! BC is also about the same as the 6.5 156 Berger too, so that is decent. I bet it will kill an elk.... [/QUOTE]
