[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1487088, member: 7999"] We have the 110g Hammer Hunter that requires a 6" twist to be fully stable. In our hunting line of bullets we will not go with a hollow point smaller than the 1.5mm that we use in our Hammer Hunter line. We have tried 1mm hollow points and had good success in media, but when used on game (elk) we were not happy with the results. You can mess with the form of the bullet and make some small gains in the bc but our decision to stay with the 1.5mm hp costs us about 10% in the bc department. The 110g Hammer Hunter has an estimated g7-bc of .266. If we eliminate the hp and take that bullet with no change to the form other than the point the bc would end up about .3 g7. We have begun working on a target line (non hunting) with no hp that will have higher bc's. Steve [/QUOTE]
