[QUOTE="dogz, post: 1983070, member: 5429"] Thanks Shep, I'm mainly asking about the Hammer's in the .224's. I've been using the 22/250 and Swift for big game for the last 42 years. Not really long range, mainly sub 400. I've found them to be as good as killers as one can possibly use for these ranges and especially for deer and antelope. I've used many types of standard 55 and 60, 63 grain CNC bullets and found them totally capable and not a huge need for a hard bullet. Like clockwork the CNC's kill much quicker, albeit not any deader...and often times much quicker than most of the larger rounds. The standard 55's, 60 and 63's will generally punch thru one shoulder and exit and often times both! Point being, I'm incredibly aware of how capable they are:) Just been messing with Hammers as of late, and wanted to see if anyone here had experience with that particular bullet. Many thanks for your time though [/QUOTE]
