Official Hammer bullets Terminal Performance (picture heavy)

Proud papa moment. My 21 year old daughter took her first deer this past weekend. Got invited to cull hunt on a friends ranch in Carrizo Springs, Tx. Perfect neck shot just under 100 yards on this doe using the 124 gr HH in my 6.5 Creed (3034 fps). DRT!! Exit wound was about 1.5-2" in diameter and took out part of the shoulder blade. Other than some bone fragments, there was little meat damage.
My daughter is now hooked on hunting. After the shot, she got the adrenaline shakes and then started crying (tears of joy). She kept saying "I dropped her…….I told you I was a good shot". She now refers to the rifle as "her rifle"(Bean will be happy I'm not shooting a Creed anymore) and hunting is "her new addiction". I didn't even bother to put a round in my 7STW since the whole weekend was about her, and I enjoyed the entire experience more than if I shot something.
My daughter helped gut and skin the deer, so she learned the whole process and got the full experience. She even bought a little display case for the fired brass case.

Took my brother in law out and he got his first deer…338 Sherman got it done.

175gr .338 Hammer Hunter going 3207 FPS. Impact velocity at our super looong range was about 3100 or so. Bang, flop, Never moved. Was getting dark so no photos of the internals but portions of the lungs looked shredded. Impressed with the "wisps" of hair that appear to be "twisted from the Hammer trail". Impressed with terminal performance at 30+ yards😁

Another hunter created☑️

2024 spring bear success! The last day of a five day hunt. I got lucky and spotted this guy in a tree. I was able to get a shot at 100 yards with the 6.5 prc and 125HHT. MV 3200fps. He was standing broadside on a limb about 50ft up a fir tree. Perfect shot, took the top of the heart. He made it about 5 feet up the tree before going limp and fell to the base making an easy and fast recovery. Entrance hole is the one seen in the pictures. The exit was a small shank sized hole in the opposite rib cage (sorry no pictures on that one). Very happy with the performance!

Didn't know this thread existed, otherwise I'd have included the photos from my 2022 muley.

Shot him at 235y, frontal into the heart. It also jellied the lungs. Found a second butthole where the shank exited. Absolutely no meat loss, except the heart and liver.
