Hammer Bullets Fur Hammer. The perfect Tiny Ten bullet?

[BryceM]

I used a suppressed .375 with solids for a klippie. Recoil wasn’t bad. Not a bad way to go, but the hammer option is intriguing.

Wonder what the remaining weight is after the petals are gone?

Do not know, never recovered one

Everyone suggested a .375 or larger in a solid.

A 375 H&H to shoot a 30 pound animal? Tina said NOPE!

I used my .375 RUM with 270 gr Barnes TSX bullets on one South African hunt for 2 Steenboks, a Vaal Rhebok, and a Jackal. The holes weren't bad enough that my taxidermist couldn't fix them.

I've had a hard, unsuccessful time finding 7mm FMJ bullets for my 7mm RM and ended up swaging .308 FMJ bullets down to 7mm, but I haven't been able get any better than 3 moa accuracy with them. A 7mm Fur Hammer bullet looks promising.

Depending on what weight you prefer, something like might be worth asking Steve if he could make a batch in the Fur Hammer configuration.

I think part of the problem with all copper bullets in a long pointy sharp nosed configuration is twist rate. It's not weight that presents the problem, it's length. A longer/heavier bullet at a slower velocity would obviously do less damage, but at a certain point it becomes to long for most factory twist rates to stabilize.
