well i didn't like it for the most part because of the tiny grains, makes a mess on my Dillon as the shell holder moves.
Always chucks a few grains out right after the powder charge.. no matter how tight i set the shell plate..

I tried an 11 grain charge of Accurate No.7 under a 200 gr Rainier FP and it seemed pretty hot, should have been well within book range though. Just loaded up some with 5 grains of HP-38 under the same and some under Barry's 200 grain SWC, we will see how those turn out.
