I've loaded a few test rounds for 40 S&W with Berry's 165 FP at 6.6 and 6.8 with a 1.13 OAL. Western Powder lists Rainier RNFP 165's at 6.5 to 7.6 @ 1.125 OAL. So I should be at the very bottom for this load plus I'm a little longer in OAL. I'm concerned with the way the primers have a crater or...
I've been loading 124 HBRN over 3.8gr of AA#2 @1.130 and like the accuracy. My question is Western Powders lists RN and HBFP in their latest guide as :

Anyone have experience with blemished bullets? I did a search on this topic and didn't see much here -
I was on Berry's site Sunday night and saw .40 155gr in the "Special" Section - said they have a small ring on the top and it's only cosmetic and will not affect accuracy - they are gone now...
I picked up some HP-38 powder yesterday – I have 135 grain .40S&W Rainier Platted Bullets in the house – Rainer says to use 10% less then jacketed weights if lead info is not available – Also I believe that HP-38 and 231 are essentially the same powder – This is what I’ve found -
