[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2198607, member: 313"] The 402gr Hammer that I used was probably the first time it was used in a 45-70 for hunting. Muzzle velocity from my 18.5" Marlin bbl was 1,700 ft/sec. The bullet petals shear off at an angle and leave aprox 90% of the flat faced bullet shank to keep moving forward. It would be interesting to see exactly how much penetration you would get. My outfitter bet me that the bull would stop/catch that bullet. He lost. :>) [/QUOTE]
