    Name: 20240521_105526.jpg Views: 418 Size: 3.75 MB
    Name: 20240521_110613.jpg Views: 408 Size: 3.50 MBI thought I would post this up to show the effectiveness of this monolithic copper projectile at range.
    This stag taken at 560 yards was a clean kill.
    Entry hole in lower brisket after going though crease in shoulder. Stag front on and up hill shot
    7mm saum
    143 hammer hunter
    MV 3183fps

    He was on his feet for 5 seconds after the shot, went 2 or 3 meters and fell over.

    Great vid. Brutal. Issue are the Hunters better than the Absolutes? Looking at that vid it is an unnecessary debate. LOL.

    Funny you say that. I have had the same internal conversation/ debate.
    My understanding is that you will get slightly more fps with the absolute hammers. I'm guessing 150 fps more.
    On the flip side the Tipped Hammer Hunter has a better BC and a lower impact velocity threshold, 1700 vs 1800fps.
    But.... my load hits the 1800 fps at 750 yards which is further than I would take a shot at a trophy and with dial up scope the BC of a projectile is irrelevant.
    My load with the hammer hunter will group with 3 rounds touching at 300 yards so that really doesn't get much better!

    Great video & result

    Hammer projectiles are awesome

    The Absolute's give amazing velocities in the right size case

    The HHT's are ridiculously accurate in the rifles I've shot them through so far

    No. I use them in 3 different rifles and calibers. All shoot well.

    Poor video clarity here in Bali but looks a decent head shape, did you give it a measure?
    I'm trying to get to heaven before they shut the door.
