    I'm thinking about using this as my barrier load but I didn't know if it can be loaded to mag length. I plan on using AA2520 as this is the powder I use with my MK262 clone load. Before I buy a few boxes I wanted to see if anyone played with this load yet. Thanks...

    No one has used this bullet? If anyone has them can you measure the bullet? I should be able to find out if the bullet will fit in a mag by it's length. Midway and Hornady doesn't list if the bullet will fit in a mag or say it's length. By time I thought of calling Hornady they had closed for the weekend....

    Couldn't find any hard numbers, but here's what I did find. Every other caliber they offer them in, the GMX is longer than the AMax of similar weight. I'm betting that they aren't going to be a magazine friendly bullet for an AR
