I didn’t know hammers were going the route of a mushroom mono style
I can see it in a subsonic but this I don’t get personally
I wonder if it’s our miss understanding of those wordings & combining the way Steve wrote it & may have meant the shank will not come apart
I really don’t know as the 175hh I’ve got & used shed petals @ the higher velocities we’ve run them @ compared to a federal I’m assuming
I would say personally that if that 175 is meant to shed you have got your answer on balancing a pill as here is the old 137 30 cal all over again yes they killed but keep shooting & especially those angles & that’s not a big pig ( nice pig though & love the shot ) move that to a big pig & same angle you won’t have enough to get through
Imo the hp is to deep & when it’s too deep you start seeing these petals still attached being more as the issue as when you start tinkering you get to the point this happens more often the deeper hp gets
The 338 line is one that can benefit the most from tweaking imo
The 338hht is one that will help stop this if my thoughts are correct but it will still need balancing to get it right imo
to the newcomers this is to the standards some of us have the bar set @ & as you can see the pill killed
But keeping Murphy @ bay longer a balanced pill will do it better & that’s what some of push

But noooooo, I had to field dress. 
it’s how can we raise the bar & a shedding mono out preforms a Barnes like mushroom mono
