[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 101608, member: 704"] Just now noticed I didn't answer you in this thread. I use the 200 gr in my Springfield XD, and in my model 1911 I pull the factory 16 lb recoil spring and drop in a 24 lb recoil spring and load the 200 gr to 1200 fps. For those reading this don't try it with the factory 16 lb spring because your frame will not last for a full mag load. Hmmm don't remember my load with the 500 gr right off hand. I do remember I was not going real hot. Only about 1300 fps if memory serves me which it doesn't do to well anymore. Since talking with you last I did purchase the heated base for my sizer/lubricator and am using harder lubricants. I also purchased RCBS Gold Medal Match full length neck bushing dies for the 6.5 Creedmoor. I also purchased head space gauges and only bump my shoulder .001 inch. Forester Ultra with micrometer heads for the 6.5X284, and Forester Bench Rest for the 308. Speaking of memory I keep reading that the Lee collet dies have zero run out. I ordered four sets and a couple months later stumbled upon six set of Lee Collet dies that I had forgot I had. Those were also new. I had the Hornady bullet run out gauge. I didn't like it for multiple reasons so purchased the RCBS. Loaded rounds that measured .002 run out on the Hornady measured .008 on the RCBS. That's when I dropped some coin on better dies.
