So, close to 2 feet of massive trauma with a 400-yard capable 400-gr Shock Hammer versus 5 to 6 feet of penetration with a 450-grain FN brass solid from CEB. That seems to cover all bases.
Did I mention that the Shock Hammer fouls way less than the Barnes TSX? Copper kind of fouling.
Sir Ron, many thanks for pushing this Hammer bullet along. I am at ease now with the preliminary integrity/ penetration/ performance tests reported. It is a very good bullet. Finally an available, a plus .400 bc, 400 grain, .458 bullet that performs.
Edit to add: The prior tested .416 350 grain TSX penetration was 18” at 2387 fps impact velocity. This .416 TSX bullet is certainly no slouch at penetration. But, this fatter Hammer with a bit less sectional density and quite a bit more estimated BC surpassed it in penetration.
