[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2368361, member: 63925"] DRT is not my measure of bullet performance since it is dependent upon so many uncontrollable variables. Two nice bucks and one doe with Hammers this year. One big mature buck with .270Win (my .270TH) with 156HH at 3200 fps center punched lungs at 240 yds and he went 210 yds measured with Leica 2700B. Lungs were liquefied goop. Big bucks can go long ways with perfect kill shot. He scored 161 5/8 so mature. Second buck a nice mature 10 pt shot with 180HH in 06 at 2875fps at 75 yds and he went 77 yds. Lungs liquefied goop and heart was completely detached laying inside thorax. Third was doe shot with same 06 180HH load at 62 yds and she went 45 yds. Lungs liquefied goop. Three deer shot punched in lungs with same terminal performance result on lungs. All dead on feet and blood trails Stevie Wonder could follow. Bullet performed perfectly in each case. My son does not shoot his 06 very much, hard core bowhunter, now has incredible confidence in his 06 since he can shoot well inside 1" at 100 yds and can shoot MOA at 300 which he was not confident at before Hammers. He likes to shoot now which was a nice unexpected result from Hammers. I think when anyone sees the accuracy and terminal performance they become much more confident in their shooting ability which increases their desire to shoot more often. Hammers liquefy lungs like I have never seen before and at 71yrs young this is a lot of deer including quite a few years in a deer depredation program. The accuracy, terminal performance, ease of reloading, availability all offset the price IMO. You spend $K's on rifle, optics and other gear so cost of bullet for this high level performance is well worth it. [/QUOTE]
