I've used both and never had any issues. But I exclusively use the #41 primers simply because I can get them pretty cheap and they have mangun strength for getter igniting my ball powders.

That sounds very uncharacteristic of my experiences with Xtreme. I've purchased thousands of their bullets and have never had an issue. Their shipping times have slowed some since switching over to a differen method of shipping, but I'm willing to wait for their excellent product.

I'm jealous.

Anyone have a link to a good timer? I went to Lowes and Home Depot and didn't really care for what they had.

I've shot plenty of them. Just as good as the Hornady FMJs.

Very cool! Just bought one with a bin barrier.

I'm also happy to hear about the $5 flat rate shipping.

Compass Lake turns out some great barrels.

I sent my REM 700 SPS to GA Precision for some upgrade work and got it back last week. I wanted a precision rifle that I'm still able to hunt with, so weight was taken into consideration. Here's what I ended up going with: - Bartlein 26" barrel, #4 contour, 1:11.25 twist - PTG Serengeti 30-06...

I run the 165g RNFP in 40S&W. For plinking I would go with the cheapest ones.

Plunk test doesn't help if you're having feeding issues. I've had rounds pass the plunk test just fine but were too long to feed reliably.

I use a Dillon 550 for my pistol stuff and 223. Using the RT1200 makes sizing and trimming 223 a snap. I just picked up a Forster Co-Ax single stage press to do my precision stuff.

Xtreme is running another 10% off sale until Wednesday. Only on 9mm plated bullets. Get them while you can. Code: 9mmPlated It's case sensitive.

Xtreme switch from USPS to UPS. Probably because it's cheaper. It definitely takes A LOT longer to receive my shipments now from UPS. But I can't really complain when the shipping is free.

Good tips! I'll try them out and see what happens. Thanks!
