Grumpy,

   the primers are CCI spp, (not known for being soft like Federal) After the range day that these were shot, the pistol went to my local smith who went through the pistol front to back and said all dimensions were within spec. I'm still puzzled

With an oversized firing pin hole in the breech face, the primers do not need to be overly soft. Check out the brass coming out of a Beretta 92.

I personally read the Lyman Manual about 30 years ago and learned a great deal. (https://www.amazon.com/Lyman-50th-Reloading-Handbook-Hardcover/dp/B01HH08L1A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1533122658&sr=8-3&keywords=modern+reloading+2nd+edition). That link is for the 50th edition, I'm guessing mine was an earlier version. 

 

Yeh, I understand your concern in that you wonder if the manual is unbiased. The nice thing is the Lyman only makes a few reloading components and concentrates more on cartridge reference. 

Thanks, I'll give it a try!
