Of the hard cast variety
They had always worked well on deer at 30'06 velocities for me. A little too much damage when I used them in 300wby.Wow those look nasty. How are they on deer?

This is why people should seek much reloading information on Facebook
<homer simpson> Mmmmm...10mm </Homer simpson>We worked on some on my 10mm GSSF loads, and stocked up on some .38 Spl this afternoon.
250 10mm that are a 165gr Xtreme flat point over 6.7gr of W231.
550 .38 Spl that are Xtreme 158gr semi wadcutter over 4.3gr of W232.
I did the QC for about 2K .223s my buddy started loading before I got there.
When we finished that... we inlet the CDI bottom metal in a rifle I brought up for a friend.
Then we sent some .308s
I forgot to mention it...that Frankford Pile Driver will set off jacked up .223 primers. You can't even hear them the thing is so loud. I set off at least 6 in the 100 I broke down to recover bullets and powder.
@Dub most of the time the primer isn't jacked up with hand loading like a Dillon 1050 with a drive will do. I kept asking my buddy what he thought the yellow stuff on the bullets was...I would see smoke every once in a while but didn't connect it. It was taking on average three strokes to pull the bullet from the crimped case. The all of a sudden I saw the flash and the smoke. It is certainly a learning curve using this thing. Any fingers should be below the knob when the down stroke takes place. It would have taken 3 times as long to do them with a kinetic hammer. I'm not sure the powder went off every time...just the primer
For large quantities this thing is a plus for sure. If it wasn't crimped it would come out on the first stroke I bet. I keep telling my buddy I'm going to bring it home since he will not us it. I think he is hooked on how fast that went. We only had 2K of the 55gr BTHP bullets we were using and needed them all.
He had a powder measure fail on the machine this week and got about 300 loaded before he caught it. I started to do those while it was clamped in the mill vice...then the whole lunch thing happen and the fat kid got his grub on and forgot about them.
Buy extra foam pieces if you can...they will not last long with pointed bullets.
If she had said Large Rifle Primers she would have been saved sooner and gotten some Starbucks.
Guessing that Meme is dated. When the primer drought started, SP and SR were unobtanium. You could still find LP and LR, but not it has flipped.If she had said Large Rifle Primers she would have been saved sooner and gotten some Starbucks.

@Dub that is one of the downfalls of Redding Pistol dies. They are best suited for RN bullets. I like them for bottleneck rifle though. Most of my pistol or straight wall case dies are RCBS.
