I have had Hammer bullets for about a year and finally got to drop the hammer on a bull. He rolled down the mountain about 30 yards where he piled up. I don't have picture of the recovered bullet but it performed exactly as advertised. It was a tough hunt this year, most of the animals I saw were much lower elevation than anticipated.

Nice! Inquisitive mind wants to know, cartridge? Velocity? Distance? Great result; anyone would be proud.

I hunt with a 7mm Rem Mag. Last time I was at the range they were running about 3300 to 3330 FPS. It was only a 125 yard shot. I do most of my elk hunting by sneaking through the woods so the majority of my kills are under 200 yards although I have a few that I have shot at over 400. Where I hunt it is pretty thick and not a lot of opportunity for longer shots.
 
I'm going to be trying that bullet in my 280 very soon. Should be operating in the 3000 - 3100 fps neighborhood, a little behind your 7mm magnum. Everybody seems to like these bullets .......
