[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2788976, member: 7999"] We have been loading north of 3450 fps in the prc with rl26 or n560 and the 124g Hammer Hunter. I just quick ran some numbers in jbm ballistics at 5000' elev. This combo gives a max point blank range on a 5" radius kill zone of 422y without changing your hold. Zeroed for max point blank range you literally have a 500y hold hair combo. Impact velocity at 500y is still 2600 fps. Hammer Hunter bullets will retain the same 65% from high velocity down to 1800 fps. Our you could say they shed the same 35% no matter how fast you impact them. (We have yet to be able to impact one too fast) At 300y the impact velocity of this combo is as fast as the muzzle velocity of the 156g bullet being suggested, that will have sketchy results with impacts above 2700 fps. With Hammers you don't have to remember to stay off bone or make sure that your elk isn't quartering in order to keep it from failure to penetrate.
