I've never used North Forks myself, but a lot of guys on this forum have, and they're very well liked. Reading between the lines and looking at pictures of recovered bullets, I'd guess they rank right up there with A Frame and TSX in controlled expansion and weight retention.I’ve heard of hammer, the other is a new one for me.

North Forks are incredible- bonus is they are bore riders… using less powder and getting higher velocities. My 450#2 shoots 500 gr A Frames at 2,075 using 93.5 gr of RL15 and my 500 gr North Forks travel at 2,135 using 92.0 gr of RL15.I've never used North Forks myself, but a lot of guys on this forum have, and they're very well liked.

Given the design of the driving bands on them, similar to the way Hammer does theirs, I'd imagine they're lower pressure than either Swift or Barnes.
I'm pushing 258 gr Shock Hammers at a little over 2500 fps out of my 9.3x62. LD has been very easy with them. I expect I could probably get them over 2600 fps without any issue, but for me, the juice just ain't worth the squeeze. They'll do quite nicely at 2500 fps for everything I intend to hunt with them.
I need to really get started with LD for my 404J; Hammer and North Fork are the 2 main ones I'm looking at. Going to RSA in August, I have 2 days in Jo'burg before I head to Limpopo. The Rhino bullet factory is really close to the hotel where I'll be staying, so I imagine I'll pick up a couple boxes of those as well.
