[QUOTE="Andrew Massi, post: 2247024, member: 106096"] 1-Forced to use lead free in California 2- bought into the hammer hype, largely thanks to this forum 3- Was of the mindset it would be more proficient to only use one bullet in state and out of state. 4- initially lacked a large enough sample size to really determine their effectiveness largely due to utilizing the gutless method and not performing an autopsy, critters died but never very spectacularly when compared to a cup n core bullet. If only compared to a barnes tsx then yes hammers do work better further no doubt due to them shedding petals. 5- and this is a big one- they Are a great bullet, easy to load and predictable accuracy especially in overbore magnums of which I typically shoot. But I don't feel they are some magic thors hammer that will cure all Like they are often touted here. 6- as this is a long range hunting forum I feel there are multitudes of better bullet options for long range hunting [/QUOTE]
