[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1520271, member: 7999"] Couple questions for you. But 1st I have to say this is not what we are after, so lets see if we can get to the bottom of it. What twist is your barrel? 3 years ago we saw this bullet not act well in an elk. It was under stabilized from a 1-8.5" twist. This was the beginning of when we figured out how important twist rate is for terminal performance. How old are your bullets? We started using our current copper alloy about a year and a half ago. It is softer and when we made the change in copper we saw much better on game performance. Proportionally the 124g Hammer Hunter is a long nosed bullet making it susceptible to tumbling if the stability is not high enough. A report like this makes me start thinking that we may want to design a new version with a bit more weight toward the front of the bullet. [/QUOTE]
