Thread: Hammer Hunter 116 grn .270wsm: graphic pics

Never been a fan of mono projectiles, but these look pretty encouraging.

4 for 4 now. These 2 @ 184 and 120 yards. Both bang-flops (one was a head shot though).

Will post a pic of shoulder entry wound tomorrow. These projectiles expand quickly and then penetrate well.

184 yards front on slightly shoulder side.

Hit site



Into ribs



Through ribs and through vitals. Never found the projectile but didn't exit. In gut bag I think.

Tilly looks impressed,they must be good.

She just likes the "bang" noise.

seem to be doing the job them Hammers

Do you think that it should have exited, is that what you would of expected ? Did you measure the litres of bruised trim ?

Yes I did think that it would have passed through, even going lengthwise like it was. Perhaps a heavier one would have. A Barnes TTSX would have probably, but then they don't do the damage that these do either and are less emphatic. Maybe the Hammers have a nice balance. Just conjecture though, but interesting.

The damaged meat doesn't worry me much. Tissue displacement and trauma are a larger part of the quick death equation than so called "shock" in my book. Nothing is certain but its interesting mucking around with these bullets.
