Both are solid .30-06 options, with the Hammer 172 HBC favoring high velocity and penetration, while the Speer 172 Impact offers controlled expansion and good weight retention for longer-range hunting. Among Us
58 GRAINS OF STABALL 6.5 under 172 grain Impact, Lapua Brass Fed 210GM primers and very nice weight retention and expansion. 2940 fps out of a 22 inch proof barrel. Groups very well.
