    I’ll load a few hotter ones too. Probably will hit the range this weekend, I’ll take a cleaning rod to knock out any potential squibs and load one at a time.

    I’d go with what Ben says. I’ve only loaded 125s for plinking and never even looked at the loads for anything else.

    Yeah I saw bens post after I posted that. Guess I’ll see how these shoot before I change anything.

    They'll work. I've loaded some 158 HBWC's with that same load of Titegroup. I think the trick to them being more accurate is you want to have a pretty good crimp on them.

    I see. I think this one looks a bit overdone though, almost like a neck lol. Also seated a bit deep.

    The Lee ha d trimmers work really well for low volume.

    You need a case trimmer.

    I’ll look into these. If I can make some room around here for myself, I’d rather have an actual bench mounted press and better equipment, but this does well for killing some time.

    That explains your ability to turn out rounds 'Mailman. As far as Mickey's goes it's an acquired taste. I acquired a taste for it after two friends and I were charged with "illegal weapons on federal property". One guy bitched out but the girl and I rode it out in Grayson County Criminal Court. If I'd have known how that would go I'd have been a bitch, too!

    Stupid game wardens lied their asses off but we got probation and the hell out of Grayson County. I think the judge felt the LEs were fudging the truth since he gave them a look before he asked if we were okay with six month's probation then gave them another look after we accepted. Then he said no fines at this time and looked at them a third time.

    Nice. I probably won’t venture lower than 2.7 gr. Is a round that’s improperly or over crimped round more of a risk shooting? Had a few that I think I managed to over-do...
