You handing your award back Tim?
Groups were far from impressive in my .308 the lad that had them off me sold them on!
Are you going for a new award for ‘inventing’ a long hook that achieves something that can be done with 2 or 3 standard s hooks? Appealing to all those that ‘must have’ on the forumNo I agree...thinking up new bits of kit is one of them...lots of reloaders not many inventors
"you must try one some time"
Did you add a like to the advert post when it first came out or have you changed your mind...?
Tim
Only when you started calling it an invention
You are welcome to post on the advert page what you don't like about it but my money says you won'tOnly when you started calling it an invention
Easier to take a swipe at a trade member who is trying to get something off the ground from different thread..
Do you want a list of people who have brought them as they will take about as much notice of you as I do..

I’ve been using the hangers Tim made for me specific for Roe and Muntjac and to be honest they’ve worked 100%, easy to use and clean, nothing not to like really, very well made and very much fit for purpose, no rear leg splitting
if you prefer using a S hook fill yer boots, bit strange someone slagging a product off that works.

Sounds like a sniff of the green eyed monster to me, Tim’s hanger is a cracking bit of kit and yes i would call it an invention!Only when you started calling it an invention
No one else has thought of it!
In fact i have 5 of them for a walk in cold room and they make a hell of a difference!
Looks like the rear section has behaved as expected but on that deer didn't have enough energy to exit?. I had a terrible 'explosion' in a short range munty on Sunday, mashed the vitals with bullet fragments and secondary missiles damaging all directions and a huge exit hole. Not ideal but .308 on a close munty, others have been much cleaner, I think it all depends on velocity/distance and what the bullet hits first - hitting an entry rib or scapula will give a completely different outcome on thin-skinned game than a clean entry between ribs. To be fair, even lead going in between entry rib will behave differently.
There is still quite a difference in gained space beneath the carcass, as the one @Tim.243 Provides hooks directly onto the rail, I.e. not onto a hook that hangs off the rail. I found it immensily useful with the fallow I had where every inch helps

I thought slagging off a product or a post was frowned on on the SD !!
I'd have thought a new way (invention) of getting the best out of a small space would have made chaps happy! Well stick a pole up my arse and call me twizzel as it seems one member feels trying to start a new business and paying the fee to do so to his liking. ( some still don't) and having a pop on an open platform is cool! not so its something a Luddite would do . Buy and try is how to reach opinionated view.
Sure Tim would be happy to make a bestspoke hook for you that fits you rail or setup to gain the max clearance in your chiller.
This tread Was about copper bullets let's hope it gets back on track or as per so many it gets lost in the pages of time .

Wouldn’t post on your ad thread and I do like it, an extended hook is a good idea. I only mentioned it as you labelled yourself an inventor this thread which I thought was quite funny!!You are welcome to post on the advert page what you don't like about it but my money says you won't

You are a legend in your own mind and that is fine just take a bit of rubbing some time!

A mate of mine had an interview re stalking with a famous news paper that wants to promote venison consumption. The journalist asked him the question what’s the biggest problem in the deer world. His answer was other deer stalkers. I make him right. Here is a man that designed, invented or call it what you like a bespoke product to help out many stalking folk with a space issue and instead of saying something positive you choose to take the Mickey out of it. Tim .243 well done in thinking and making something many folk on here will find useful. It looks like you already had many good feed back and that speaks for itself.
Returning to the OP's original question, PSB some recent roe taken with 130gr TTSX home loads in a .308 at 2948 fps at approx 100-150m - all bullets exited. The last, a doe kid shot at 40m ruptured 13 ribs on both sides of the spine! On both kids shot at that distance, the sternum was also ruptured. Whilst all of these dropped on the spot, I don't like using this round on kids - mature/old bucks and does, no issues but there's too much energy there for kids.

I've never seen that damage to so many ribs before. Is that due to a larger temporary cavitation than the chest can handle? In essence over inflating the chest and the weak point was the top of the ribs where there wasn't the flexibility to absorb the energy?
I personally doubt it’s cavitation - I’ve now seen 3 roe where the sternum has been ruptured so to me, it appears to be over-pressure not vacuum. I’m no expert though, so I standby to be educated.

I think we're on the same page just maybe using different terminology. I mean the temporary cavity caused by the bullet, the peak of pressure you see as a large bubble when shooting into ballistic gel so yes a sign of over pressure.
