[QUOTE="PapaSmurff, post: 2568526, member: 118512"] You should be fine working up a dual load using hammers and then another high bc lead core for the second. I have done it many times for several of my rifles. I usually use Berger’s or Hornady ELD-M’s for the high bc bullet. It also usually equates to my high bc lead cores having a 200 yard sight in while the hammers have a 150 yard sight in, not having to adjust my scope settings for sight in elevation and just running whichever ballistic chart I’m hunting with that day. However, it seems like every rifle I’ve dual loaded for the Hammers shoot 4 to 5 clicks to the right on windage. So I have to remember which load is sighted in windage wise when I take the rifle out hunting and adjust the windage setting accordingly if I need to switch loads for a longer range shot. It’s not that big of a deal though. Have dual loaded with hammers for 26 Nosler, 28 Nosler, 7mm R‘em Mag, several 300 PRC’s, and 338 Lapua as well as one 300 Norma Mag. P.S. Every 300 PRC or 300 Norma Mag I have loaded Hammers for thus far LOVE the 199’s. The 199’s usually shoot in the .1 MOA’s if loaded 1 in 9” twist or faster barrels for the above mentioned calibers that I’ve load developed for, it’s turning into my favorite Hammer bullet thus far.
