Back from the range. The 5.0 gn loads ran fine but felt a bit weak. Plenty accurate, gun functioned fine(Rem R1) and no leading. I believe I'll bump the load up a few tenths next time and try that.

On a side note: I also bought some 115g 9mm of the same hardness. Loaded a batch that should chrony about 1000+ fps (my chrony is out at the deer lease). They worked fine but were a little whimpy as the empties were not slinging very well( P2022). Still no leading. I will also bump the load up a tad for the next batch.

I think I'm gonna like these bullets if I can get used to the smoke. They work just fine and are available.They were backordered but shipped in about two weeks.

Bugs, excellent article by the way. Thanks.
