What is it you don't like about the hammers? Also which bullet did you try? I was thinking of trying the 120 or 131 HH.284 Win works great! Short action Stiller predator, Grayboe Terrain, Hawkins BM, Bartlein 3B 24 inch, NXS. Petersons brass is awesome! Buddy used the same rifle to shoot his mule deer at 460. Not liking the Hammer Hunters through it but the 160 accubonds are real nice Buck was at 360 and doe was at 480.
