That’s what I understand from reading on it a bit. Probably about the same as my current method using an Uniflow, scale and trickler. Accurate is better than fast. I’m looking forward to giving it a run.

do recommend that you keep the manual at hand .... it has very specific startup and setting sequences .... I find that referring to the manual helps insure I don't have to go through them more than once ;)

Hot dang! Went out to the shop to load some .357, looked in the cabinet and found I already loaded 'em! A bonanza! Well, guess I'll prep some .45 acp cases instead. Sticker says I loaded those on the 11th. :?

Sized[deprimed], flared and primed 100 .45 acp cases. Will drop powder, either Universal or BE-86 over the weekend. Lordy, I have a LOT of .45 acp brass! I think this stuff multiplies in my shop!

Rifletom,
We must be on the same shooting schedule. I just loaded 100 rounds of .45 ACP. I used WST and 230 grain lead TCN Hitek coated bullets.
Here are 50 of them.

JEBar,
Thanks! I opened an account and asked to be notified.
I saw these once before sometime ago and was leery of what they categorized as a blemish. Thought it might be a construction or dimension issue and maybe affect terminal performance. But I'll give them a try!👍
just got a notice from Shooter's Pro Shop that they have some Nosler 7mm 152 Grain E-Tip Banded Bullets (BLEM) - 50ct .... their E-Tips are solid brass bullets .... deep penetration and in our 30 calibers they group like ballistic tips of the same weight .... they are outstanding big game bullets
