Thread: Hammer Hunter .270 performance

I'm very impressed by the performance of the 117 grain Hammer Hunter bullet out of my 22" .270wsm. Velocity is 3,450 fps using R19.
Here are some pics of the terminal performance from Saturday.

Fallow buck at 240 yards. Angled lung shout. Good splattering of blood on the ground, and dead on the spot. Both pics are the exit.





This one (Fallow spiker) was running up hill away from me and I hit it in the spine between the hips (not a very good shot). I found the shank and a couple petals in the front of a shoulder. This is how they are meant to perform with the petals breaking off and the shank driving through. The petals in them selves cause some serious damage.



Over all Im very impressed with them and also use 124 grn in a 6.5prc and have fiddled a bit with 60 grn in .223.
The are very expensive with the cost of freight from the States spoiling it really.
