[QUOTE="Koda_, post: 2602231, member: 121268"] I'm getting a new barrel installed on my 25-06 with a faster twist to handle higher BC bullets and while reviewing one of the bullets Im considering I noticed how long the bullet is, woah.... the .257cal [URL='https://hammerbullets.com/product/257-cal-128g-hammer-hunter/']128g Hammer Hunter[/URL] is 1.515" long and I wondered how far into the case are these seated? Let me use a photo to help explain, below is a pic of a handload I developed for my old factory barrel using a 100g Barnes TTSX, that handload had a .050" jump to the lands. I'm still fairly new to handloading but have heard to not seat the bullet base past the lower shoulder junction. Yes, Im aware that the ogive geometry of the Hammer bullets will be different but thats still a very long bullet. For reference the Barnes 100g TTSX shown is 1.192" long. How deep can you seat the longer Hammer bullets? [ATTACH type="full" alt="1660974260868.png"]388593[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
