Resurrecting this thread bc some threads get me thinking, this one has my mind swirling. I checked out the M*Carbo offering after it was mentioned in another thread. I haven’t yet gathered enough ingredients to make a Frankenstein on par with the OP, but here’s what I got: Wheeler Digital, 10-pull avg (excuses to buy more toys FTW) Stock trigger & Stock Spring 5lb 8.0oz M*Carbo Flat Omega Trigger & Stock Spring 5lb 5.4oz M*Carbo Trigger & M*Carbo 3.5lb Spring 4lb 3.8oz

My loads are for USPSA shooting or range trips where my super science-y way of comparing loads is: double taps on a USPSA paper target and seeing which one I can shoot flatter with a few more As -AND- which feels more comfortable. Having explained how highly I value pure accuracy, I will say this: FP and JHP tend to lend me better accuracy CONSISTENTLY, but I think that’s sheerly due to them getting seated more consistently in my Dillon dies. My theory could be wrong…? Faves are 124/5gr JHP for 9mm and 200gr FPs (plated) for 45ACP. The only exception I’ve noticed is the TC profile from BBI in 9mm - load, feed and shoot like a dream.

Try everything. I pretty much only load for fun/USPSA and am a casual competitor (at best), so I’m more concerned about loading consistently than I am with accuracy. Zero are local to me and I really like their 125gr JHP. For a more budget-minded option, the 124/5 (?) CN from BBI is consistent in loading and shooting and not super smoky. I just ordered some 124gr JHP “Nukes” from RMR and am hoping to have found one bullet to cover all my 9mm needs.

I haven’t tried many powders, but will add RSC stays clean, even in my Weenie Hut Jr loads for 200 or 230gr. It meters very well on my 650.

BBI Haven’t loaded/shot any yet, but I’m hoping these are my new faves, because: ordered Sunday morning, arrived this afternoon 500 - 200gr RN 500 - 125gr CN

Not tried it, but if you are going into the wall/studs, unneeded, IMO. FYI, the casefeeder is not too loud for loading after wifey’s bedtime, but the desk screwed into studs on a shared wall has made reloading after ‘bedtime’ a no-no due to our dogs’ interpreting the wall shakes as thunder (the ultimate bad guy).

EDIT: I did receive a shipping notification from X-Treme on 09/29, my phone had updated and I wasn’t logged back into my email.

Two recent orders, first time using either company - happy with both DG 230gr RN x 1k Ordered: 09/11/20 Shipping notification: 09/22/20 Arrival: 09/25/20 X-Treme 200gr FP x 1k Ordered: 09/21/20 Shipping notification: none, and I woulda waited a good while longer before bugging em Arrival: 10/03/20 (conveniently were waiting at home for me so as to replace the DGs which were apparently taken earlier at a match that day by somebody named Mike)
