And large govt contracts for ammo.

For decades the Hensley and Gibbs #68 200 grain SWC has ruled for as lot of things. It's more accurate and you can load them hot or mild with 2321/HP-38. I've used it since starting in IPSC in the 70s.

Many scammers online these days across the board. Always stick with conventional plastic for payment

Add 4.2 of 231 for a 124 plated bullet (Flat nose). I am currently using Autocomp for a Precision Delta 124 JHP and it's working nicely. Previously with a 124 Xtreme plated 124 flat point.

Never, the very few times I've had a FTF was due to overcrimping which stretched the cases. This was very rare when I was sorting out headaches of using .355 plated bullets, something I don't use anymore.

Norma is Boxer not Berdan primers

great power, been using it for decades, but no 160 grain bullets. My 9mm loads were all 124 grain.

I've tried several primers for precision rifle ammo. Best results are with Federal 210Ms. With Remington my SDs increased to the point I stopped using them.

Autocomp, works well with plated bullets

Only problem I've had with taper crimps is loading .355 bullets. No matter how hard a crimp I used, I did get bullet set back. I simply went and got a Lee Factory crimp die to solve the problems. The second choice is a Lee undersized sizing die but I Haven't used one yet. This is the only Lee equipment I've used in over 50 years of reloading.

Light load, I was running 4.0 to 4.2 of 231.

Friend of mine that was QA Manager at Ruger spoke highly of them. That's why I started ordering them.

Just checked my last batch received two weeks ago. They're fine.

Don't shoot Glocks, but my 1911s prefer 1.065.

Danny, did you get out to any of the SWPL matches?

I'm late to this one, but Early did you know Mike Harries? He was at Columbia.

I RO'ed Rob at an early Steel Challenge. Compensated Series 70s started in the SWPL in 1981, although there were problems with them. They were more abundant in 82. That's when the SWPL split. There were some long barrels and a few long slides, but not in any serious numbers.

Thanks Mark, doing flat nose right now.

Round nose? Flat I'm seating at 1.065.

Fitchman was never great compared to the names mentioned. I remember when he was caught up in "instinct shooting". Never got it to work right.

You never saw some of the fast folks. At Wes Thompson's we had "The Turkey Shoot" once a year. It was a speed match with steel IPSC Item targets at 7 yards, man against man. Bob Munden used to shoot it, Thell Ried occasionally did. Chuck Ries, Mike Horne and Leonard Knight used to consistently shot 3/10ths of a second.

Jim's still around and several of us were giving him a ration of cow cookies about it on Facebook. I knew him when he was still.married to Linda. Jim wasn't a consistent shooter which is why he didn't consistently place well back in the late 70s/early 80s.

Mike Harries taught us to draw weak hand from strong side holster safely. I broke my knee running the CA IN 1978 or 79 up at Desert Marksman. SWPL banned it in 82.

PS Micky, Steve Blankenbiller and I used to shoot ground squirrels from the steps of Steve's mobile home before he and Mike Dalton built up the property. We wanted to keep the squirrels away from our horses kept on Steve's place.
