I have the Frankford Arsenal powered trimmer/prep station. Best purchase I have made in reloading. Leaps and bounds above the hand crank. I still hate taking the time to trim though.

At first glance, I though you had crimped the heck out of that bullet then pulled it...
Never tried monos before but a few buddies talked me into trying it out. From what I understand those notches in copper rounds (like the TTSX) reduce copper fouling. The CBBs are pricey but there’s some impressive footage online that made me cave.At first glance, I though you had crimped the heck out of that bullet then pulled it...

The buckshot loads are for my buddy to try in his Public Defender. I have not had a chance to meet up with him to see if they fit his cylinder, and why I only loaded five to start.I thought that might be what you were using. I may just have to pony up the cash and buy one of those.
Have you used any of those loads in a Judge? I can't get my hull to be uniform enough to slide in and out easily using the fold crimp. Seems the fold end of the case is just too wide, I can't get the taper correct. I have had to resort to roll crimp to use in the judge. Never have that issue with either 12 or 20 gauge.
Thanks,

The cylinder has a step so you can't stick .454 in there and blow yourself up. Makes the .410 hulls tight especially if they are not perfect. They shoot fine and come out pretty easily, but you have to push hard to get them to chamber.The buckshot loads are for my buddy to try in his Public Defender.

Will do, thanks you for the infoThe cylinder has a step so you can't stick .454 in there and blow yourself up. Makes the .410 hulls tight especially if they are not perfect. They shoot fine and come out pretty easily, but you have to push hard to get them to chamber.
Let me know how it turns out.

I’ve had great luck with 117 SST out of my 25-06. Maybe a dozen animals with three big bucks out to 350 yds.Loaded up a few rounds of 25-06 to zero the scope on my new Ruger #1V. Loaded 115gr Nosler Ballistic Tips over 48gr on IMR 4350. Once I zero the scope I am going to try some 115gr Nosler Partitions since I want to use it for deer.

Got me thinking about some of those in a 25-06... curious if it’s a way to cheat slow twist.The notches(grooves) also cut down on bore riding surface ....reducing pressure...
