[QUOTE="WYO300RUM, post: 2697523, member: 32631"] Barnes arent designed to shed petals. Just to peel back into 4 pedels to expand . Hammers a whole different breed . Shedding 4 petals. I didn't tell story about running whitetail buck at 25 yards this month but I'm pretty sure a petel hit one one lung and cut kidney I half. It dropped and never moved. It did peirce on stomach chamber. A little too far bar on shot. Didn't lead enough but was a 3 second afair. I've been shooting Barnes since 1993. And Hammers since 2019. I'm 65. I know all about sectional density , ft. pds. Energy, etc.Been reloading since I was 18. This year and last I used all Hammers 6.5 and 30 cal. . Tomorrow a doe whitetail. My last tag. Educate me sonny 😉 last year I used a 156 Berger on some deer and lope. Somewhat meat destructive. Last year on deer and lope I had good luck with 124 Hammer in 6.5 PRC. [/QUOTE]
