My bad...misread that rc. And for the record, I did exactly what you said...placing them side by side, my guess is the HB bullet is going to have quite a bit more friction...lol Thanks man! Sometimes I need a good crack over the head! lol

Thanks for clearing that up rc...the pressure change is what I was concerned with using these new bullets. As the base is hollow it does create more air space inside the case, I was not sure as to the change in pressure with this added space but it would decrease the chamber pressure with more...

The loads that I am currently loading are not max...not close to max, running about the mid point of the scale. Have been seating both .45 and .40 to 1.260 and have had NO issues with anything. Good accuracy, no feeding or ejecting issues at all, no pressure signs on brass...all is well there...

I use Lee and RCBS in mine. I actually prefer the RCBS for my rifle loads and the Lee dies for my handgun/pistol loading...

I was recently sent some replacement bullets from Berry's and they sent me Hollow Based bullets. These are 185gr .45 HBRN and 165gr .40 HBFP-TP. My question is since the base is hollow it would create a larger, lower pressure "chamber" for the powder. Does my current charge need to be changed...
