[QUOTE="Koda_, post: 2757425, member: 121268"] Myself Im currently working on developing a handload using the 60g Hammer Hunter. I found its projectile length suitable for seating to mag length in any standard AR magazine without protruding too deeply in the case. I think its possible a slightly heavier Hammer could work too, but just picked the 60g to start with due to its optimal length. Use this link as a guide. [URL]https://www.jbmballistics.com/ballistics/lengths/lengths.shtml#Barnes[/URL] They dont list the 78g but a comparable 70g TSX is over an inch long at 1.037" so its safe to say the 78g is longer. Doing the math the 70g TSX will protrude .527" into the case if seated to MAX coal, thats .215" past the bottom shoulder junction. Thats taking away a lot of powder space. Ive used a 55g TTSX on deer and its a great bullet but Im still switching to Hammers.... [ATTACH type="full" alt="Selection_001.jpg"]442383[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
