    Not yet. I'm making no changes at all until after the big match, and then I'll be doing some research on different rounds that meet my accuracy needs and cost less. I'm starting to think it's not going to happen though. All I need is 2-3" group at 25 yards. I haven't found a plated bullet that will do that yet. It's just frustrating that a cast bullet will do it just fine, as will a true jacketed round. I'm probably out of the lead bullet game for good, so that leaves jacketed.

    Yeah, that's not going to be my any time soon! I see it as a necessary chore, but a chore nonetheless.

    I've seen them online, but never in real life. If I was going to go automated, I would look at the Camdex commercial machines. The Dillon auto conversions have never inspired confidence!

    That opinion is subject to change when I see one operating IRL, though.

    You guys sure load light weight bullets!

    My "normal" is a 147gr.

    These are 'gatorsnot' bullets. And given a good shooter, will do about an inch at 25 yards.
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    Last time I rubbed one out, it weighed 1200 grains and was going 18,000 feet per second.
    I’m an engineer. To save us both time, let’s just assume I’m not wrong.
