After doing a good bit of actual testing on deer using the 88gr 6mm Hammer Hunters my results are mixed. I've found 3 petals in the onside shoulder that never made it to the vitals with each weighing between 6 - 6.5gr. Exit holes are small almost like shooting FMJ bullets. Hammer Hunters are good bullets if you shoot for the boiler room, the deer don't go far if they run at all. If you want to shoulder shoot the Barnes LRX is proving to be the better choice, IMO. The large mushroom of the Barnes does a lot more damage to the shoulders than the Hammer Hunters.
