I shot my last cow right at 100yds, 300WM with the Barnes 175 LRX, started 3080 or so. To see for myself how "soft" the nose was I shot her broadside, tight behind the shoulder. she was up on the mountain, so entrance was low right and exited high left side. she made a death run 30yds downhill. Good 1 1/2" entrance/exit holes, massive damage inside. I could have killed her easily with my 30-30 Ackley, ha but it proved to me the LRX is the "berries". I have never killed anything yet with the Hammers, but assume they would kill the same, what with the claws tearing off. Can anyone add their Hammer story?
