Have always worked on the premiss that just leave enough room so the rounds won't bind, not giving enough thought to damage to tips under recoil. Will have to rethink my process.And that clearance isn't just unique to Hammers. mtmuley
Maybe I missed it somewhere in the thread, but what did the wound channel look like?Was this a bullet failure or something that just happens? The majority of my hunting has been done with a straight-wall rifle so I don’t have a lot of experience with recovering actual rifle bullets - just shooting them.
This is a Hammer Hunter 143 grain bullet shot out of a .280 AI that hit a cow moose at the base of the ribs. She quartering slightly away and I recovered at the hide on her other side. 85 yards. Chrono’d these rounds at an average of 2995 FPS.
Any input would be great - I’d hate to have to pull the rest of the bullets that I have.
To be honest I was so excited to have taken a moose that I didn’t inspect it until I found the bullet, and by that time we had it quartered out.Maybe I missed it somewhere in the thread, but what did the wound channel look like?
