Thanks for the reply. I think you may beright about the brass.

What I really like about it is the ease of setting up the dies. To me, it's always been a pain in the butt setting up the bullet seating/crimp die. Too much fooling around for my taste. I'd rather haveeach die do a single job rather than two.

I'm shooting a scoped Performance Center Smith. I've been having good accuracy with 240 grain XTP's and Accurate Arms #9.
