The lead core is bonded to the jacket to reduce separation and increase the bullet’s weight retention and penetration. How does Super Hammerhead differ from Gamehead? Super Hammerhead has a stronger construction and more controlled expansion. Gamehead has a lighter jacket and generally expands faster. Is this suitable for long-range shooting? The bullet is primarily designed for short and medium range hunting. For longer distances, a bullet with a higher ballistic coefficient is usually more suitable. When is Super Hammerhead the right choice? It is a good choice when a stronger lead bullet than Gamehead is needed, one that withstands bone hits better and retains more mass. For very short distances and heavier game, the 11.7 g Hammerhead may offer an even more powerful solution. Recommendations Check the accuracy and point of impact of the cartridge in your firearm. Although the bonded core improves bullet integrity, it does not automatically make every shooting angle suitable. Prefer a clear shooting sector and a target area that takes the game’s anatomy into account. If switching from a 150 gr Gamehead to a Super Hammerhead, re-zero your sight. The same weight does not guarantee an identical point of impact, as bullet shape and initial velocity differ.
