    Hammer Damage

    124 grn 6.5 prc Hammer bullet. 3100 fps. 150 yards.
    You can see the shank exit and 3 petal exits above it. The petals fly off and the shank always seems to exit.

    Back of the neck at 200. Ouch.
    They are the most effective bullet I have ever used but ruin a lot of meat. I’ve got some 64 grn coming for the .223. They were comparatively expensive but with the price hikes on everything else now it’s just the extra freight that makes them a bit more costly to use. An advantage is that they are always available.

    I’m in the trees at the moment. When I’m home I will post the link but Googling Hammer Bullets should take you to their site.

    I’ve used them in 270wsm too. I will update about them when I get home.

    I get them straight from Hammer in the States. It’s no problem.

    And yes they are solid copper mono bullet.
