That will be interesting Corey. Can't wait for a range report.

Did you run them through a sizing die after patching?

yes, these where just run thru a .451. when I do improved minnies it is first sizing the minnie to .451 then patching then sizing in a .454. these are a lot more slip fit then the then minnies at .454.
