[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1519772, member: 8873"] If I were only shooting to 350 yards I would use the Sledge Hammers. Little lower BC but suppose to be more aggressive on game. Per their website: “The Sledge Hammers are our line of bullets that we designed for normal range hunting, where bc is inconsequential. So for most cartridges 400y or less. The Sledge Hammer line is approximately an 80% weight retention bullet that has a larger hollow point for super quick opening on game with high retention for long straight penetration.” If you want more velocity to lessen drops then go with the 117. I’m betting penetration will not be an issue on deer at the ranges you speak. I was told that the light(ish) .338 Hammers I used this year would probably penetrate end to end on an elk, and they pretty much did. [/QUOTE]
