  1. Bullet: Missouri 200 gr lswc (18 bhn) Powder: 4.9 gr WST (was teetering between 4.9 and 5.0) Primer: Winchester LP Brass: Mixed OAL: 2.230" Crimp: .469 --This averaged 869 fps for a Power factor of 173. The Temp. outside was around 95. This was chrono'd at the 2011 Indiana Section Match. --I switched to Federal Large Pistol Primers and the Power Factor dropped to right around 170. This was done at A5 this year. Everything else was the same.
  2. I've currently been working up loads using HS-6. I have also loaded a few with titegroup but be very careful watching for double charges.
  3. I've ordered multiple items from them several times. Always had good service, and they were very helpful when I needed to return items.
  4. Another thing to watch is how your bench is constructed, and if it is flexing too much for a good, positive seat of the primer. When I began using my 550 I had the exact problem you are describing. After going through all of the "checks" to make sure it was put together correctly and getting the same results, I took a look at my bench, and found it less than stellar, as it had only been used for a single stage previously. I solved the problem temporarily by holding onto the press in the rear and pulling forward slightly, as I pushed forward on the handle during the priming operation. Solved the problem for me. Good Luck
