Thanks guys!!!


But the bullet profile is drastically different between the gold dot and the XTP. I have both, and the gold dot is longer overall. If I line up the canelatures, the GD fills a LOT more of the case. Oh, and the GD has a concave base where the XTP has a bevel base but is basically flat.


I wish someone in town sold reloading manuals from stock. 'darned if I wouldn't go tomorrow and buy one of every one they have. especially Speer! 'course Hornady isn't much better in terms of load data on the ineterweb - I'd dang sure buy one of those books also.
