primers were lightly flattened, no ejector swipes or cratering. also the starting loads, and most of the loads felt odd, had kind of a weird sproing to them when cycling and felt a little slow, but everything cycled and ejected fine.

I’ve been shooting bulk 55gr bullets with 24.9gr of H335 and Tula Magnum primers for about ten years now. On a good day at 100yds it’s around MOA, but in general it’s more of a 1.5 MOA plinker. No pressure issues or malfunctions at all. I use any old brass and nothing but resizing and trimming for brass prep.

Just to clarify which powder is which among the older ones:
Code:
Powders from 2009 MSDS sheets (some newer MSDS sheets lack the powder name information due to
changes in MSDS requirement regulations).

Note that bulk grade versions have wider burn rate specs and can vary significantly from the
canister grades, which are controlled for burn rate by blending with held back fast or slow 
lots, as needed to adjust them to within ±3% of their nominal burn rates.

     Canister      | Bulk Grade |       Canister         | Canister |      Canister        |
      Grade        |            |        Grade           |  Grade   |       Grade          |
