    I had been pondering that, and they shouldnt have any issues in the 1/14 twist. Id like to use a hammer or a barnes, not sure how i would get on though. Some say the barnes 50gr ttsx are just barely stable in a 1/14.

    The light weight hammers dont perform as well as the heavier ones. A tiny shank and very small petals.
    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.
