    Tested out the hammers today.
    This first on is a yearling red at 240 yards, shoulder shot.
    Dropped it on the spot
    Exit wound

    Not a huge amount of damage to heart and lungs

    The hammer did enough damage to be happy with it

    The next was a hind at 342 yards, lower neck shot.

    She was still kicking around when I got there. I think this shows that like all monolithic coppers the hammer needs more resistance on impact. There is less margin for error compared to a fully frangable lead core projectile but it is nice to know that I am not feeding the family lead burgers.
    In general I am happy enough with its performance to keep testing it out. I would imagine a big bodied stag would feel the wrath of the hammer in a big way. Would probably be a great Roar load

    Great solid copper projectiles are the way forward

    Pretty hard for one bullet to do everything though
