~ 450 rounds of .45 ACP, in mostly matching headstamp match brass, 200 grain BBI semiwadcutters over 4.3 grains of Accurate #2. All gauged, only a few no-goes. Did about 150 with a local brand of 230 grain poly coated round nose and 4.5 grains, but lots of rejects on those... think I need to work on my seating setup, since the ones that don't gauge have a bulge at the base of the seated bullet. ( They may not be going in perfectly straight.)
Not super hot loads, but I can control the recoil pretty well at this level, so they are accurate shooting in my CZ 97.
Anyone used the Redding competition seater die on straight walled pistol cartridges? It looks like a pretty good design for getting everything concentric....
Currently using an RCBS seater with the crimp part backed all the way off, and a separate Lee taper crimp die. ( not the fcd).
