Free is good. Have a ton of CF AAs plus about 8 unfired cases. Performance of HS factory loads is alot better, now equal to the RPs - wasn't always so. So we buy HS for registered and sell the empties, too.

Weighed the drops from my 502 1/2 oz bars w/Winchester magnum #9: 185 gr in the unaltered bar, 205 gr in one I slightly hogged out. Still shy of 218-219 gr.

Could probably use the 5/8 oz MEC bar with those RPs, but...... whistle
