The arguments in favor of Hammer bullets over Barnes hold very little weight.
Hammer bullets are designed to blow the petals off just after initial penetration. So, exit hole is always bullet size.
Bullet sized exits aren’t “always”. Depends on velocity and critter being shot. The frag pieces often exit as satellite wounds around core exit.
I shoot both TTSX and Hammer. Lots of options. Loony stuff.
Check out the You Tube interview, Adam Weatherby and the Hammer team. Wby is now offering factory ammo with Hammer bullets.
