    Load development done, will be testing after the IPSC Match on Saturday, made extra sure I got it done tonight because tomorrow ill be having a straight single malt whiskey at the earliest possible convenience

    Just to add, I didnt set the height die at all, was at the bottom of sami spec COL with bulletcorp 124 Gn, but the col on these load to 28,2 +- without adjustment, so the Ogive is not nearly as much of an anal pain with these than the bulletcorp, and every single one passed the plink test but ill confirm that with some bulk loading next week.

    Also, I think ill flare just a tiny tad more, one bullet got slightly scraped as it went in the seating die at an angle, no biggie

    Looking forward to the feedback. How did the coating look out of the packaging. Consistent, etc?

    Not as smooth and consistent as bulletcorp, but is that important? I guess ill find out when testing? Loaded 10 of each batch and will try to test accuracy as well as velocity....

    They are the 135 Gn, but weigh more around 139-141 gn, is that considered a large deviation in weight, I dont believe it will have a major effect on pistol ammo though

    the current batch of 147gn is more around 154 to 157gn. Always check the bullet weight on a new batch.
