140 TTSXWhat weight bullet were you shooting?
SO?????Cuz its a 358!
120's would have been better choice IMO. I use 110gr ttsx in my 270win and the last deer I shot with it he dropped like a rock.140 TTSX
I don't doubt it, but now I'm back to Bergers or Hammers.120's would have been better choice IMO. I use 110gr ttsx in my 270win and the last deer I shot with it he dropped like a rock.
I shoot both. No need to limit yourself in my opinion. Plus, "Boogers" are a bit cheaper for those range sessions.I don't doubt it, but now I'm back to Bergers or Hammers.
That's the Gods honest truth!Use the sway function bud, there are hundreds pages of information on Hammers, it's the best hunting bullet on the market IMHO
The key to Hammer bullets is to shoot light-for-caliber weights, and run them as fast as you can. You'll get devastating terminal performance.
X-2The statement above is all you need to know about mono projectiles & is indeed the key to using them effectively for hunting
I've seen the light!
I shoot 177hh out of a 284 long action @ 2820fps. Had kills out to 600 yards and bullet performance has been perfect. The only one I've recovered is from a bear at 400 yards. It was just starting to break the skin on the exit. My personal experience they don't need to go super fast. Just my 2 cents from a dozen animals killed with that set up.The statement above is all you need to know about mono projectiles & is indeed the key to using them effectively for hunting
This is where the Hammers excel, some of the other monos available not so much, especially on lighter gameI shoot 177hh out of a 284 long action @ 2820fps.

The majority of my animals taken with Hammers are blacktail deer. So on the real big side 160lbs. I just love the lack of meat damage while delivering drop dead performance. Had great results with 177s @ more moderate velocity is all I'm saying. Not trying to start sh@#.This is where the Hammers excel, some of the other monos available not so much, especially on lighter game
X's 2 to Mr. Shinbones statement ! Shoot all monolithic bullets on the light side and hyper speeds !The statement above is all you need to know about mono projectiles & is indeed the key to using them effectively for hunting
