[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1259180, member: 7999"] I agree with Rose. The bullet looks like it should. Hard to say what happened terminally, but the deer is down. I personally like higher muzzle velocities, but that is a personal thing. Our Hammer Hunter will be a bit more violent on impact than what you see there simply because we have a much deeper hollow pt and softer material. Just did load development on a customer 308 yesterday with the 152g Hammer Hunter and the load ended up at 3050fps using CFE223 powder. Nice and consistent with a 12fps es and 5.8fps sd. Weather you stay with the Barnes or try ours I think the lighter bullet with higher mv will extend your effective range in "normal" hunting distances. Or in other words max point blank range and higher vel impacts for more terminal performance. Steve [/QUOTE]
