Thanks for the response rwilson452.

1) your kidding? Alright then, though its a little scarry putting craters in the pressure sensitive part of the round

2) Thanks for the heads up. The next scooper i have is over hodgdon's recomended maximum, so if the 3.4 grain loads dont go well in my 1911 ill have to start looking for a better way to measure.

3) alright, ill probably start with their recomended length. Just curious, what does c.o.a.l. stand for?

4) what is the "bell" on the case?

And ya, i was planning on only making about 10 each trip to the range, to find a good combination that works.
