[QUOTE="jlanecr500, post: 5812699, member: 16430"] I shoot the 297gr Pittman Hammer in my 40 sml long range gun. I've only killed a couple deer with it. The video is spot on. My experience is 250 yds 3000 fps shoulder shot. Penetrated both shoulders and blew the sternum out the front. I think the front end changed direction and came out the sternum. Deer plowed for 20 yards. I have adopted a motto. Bigger is better and kill dead right there. The smallest caliber I've hunted with in the last 20 years is a 30-06. Until I gave in and barreled up a 6.5 prc. FF to today 1-7-24, 6.5 prc, 124 HH, 3000 fps mv, deer at 160 yds quartering away behind shoulder. Deer not recovered. Tracked nearly 300 yds to another property. I decided to reserve judgement until I saw this thread. Looks like I'll be loading something different for next year. I'll make someone a good deal on some 124 HH's [/QUOTE]
