I think Bill said at one point the 135gr will expand down to 1600 fps or so, which would make this round effective to 300 yards.


Here's a pic. Weighs 6 lbs-12 oz with everything you see on it including suppressor. Could make it even lighter with a smoke composites stock but wanted the adjustability. Includes Smoke Composite Rail, JP Dissipaters cut to size, Rugged Micro 30 Suppressor and Aimpoint red dot.

well this didn't turn out quite as expected. yea, my buddy is a flat bellied, eagle eyed prs shooter, but i never thought a seasoned veteran like myself could get shown up by a punk kid.

i changed to an unproven bolt carrier and jammed
the kid is 30 years old

i just do whatever the farmer wants. some what them gone saying the bones give their tractors flats. others don't want me driving on the crop and say everything's gone in a few days anyway. i don't mind dragging them out. that's the least i could do for permission to hunt. i collect the pix anyway, lol.

I’m having a 16” 300 hamr ar put together for my son to hunt hogs and whitetail with. We hunt in south texas brush country that is very unforgiving if you have to trail a deer. What would be the ideal bullet that would penetrate both shoulders and give the highest likely hood of a DRT shot? Thanks in advance!

There are some good choices such as:

115gr Lehigh Xtreme Chaos
125gr Lehigh Controlled Chaos
135gr Hornady FTX
150gr Hornady SST

If your mostly concerned about penetration:

135gr HAM'R Bonded
150gr HAM'R Bonded

Shot this decent 6.5yr old 10pt about 20min before dark last night. 100yd shot with the new 130gr TXC-SPB designed for long mag box bolt guns. He took 3 steps after the hit and went down.

Of the Lehigh loads on sale which would you choose first in an 11.3” barrel strictly for defense?

125gr Controlled Chaos, this is our original proven Lehigh bullet for the HAM'R, once sold out this load will be replaced with the improved 125gr CC3 bullet that has the same proven and reliable terminal performance but is more accurate.

Not necessarily, but the 115gr Tipped Xtreme Chaos is EXTREMELY effective on deer and hogs. My two "go to" bullets are the 115gr Tipped Xtreme Chaos and the 125gr Controlled Chaos

got to fire a few shots before the cold weather set in. video failed on the larger group. scope is now on its way back to tech support. there should be fourteen hogs in the bottom half of the pic, but i guess two must have come off the chain when dragging. anyway got some footage of the other five with two suicide bombers.
