Every 200 cartridges I clean the seating die - Dillon has those convenient cotter pins and with soft swaged & thick lubed bullets it gunks up fast. NC brake clean with both sides of a qtip and we're back in action
I don't think so. New starline cases vary by a few grains a piece. I think your expected variation for weight of brass, bullet and primer together for each cartridge is greater than the expected powder weight and will be truly worthless. I tried to speed up my process of counting cases going...
It's interesting how Win has/had(blue) the same-for standard & mag lpp yet separated between standard and magnum SPP. I am fond of the Win LPPs, at least the blues maybe because I know the packaging better than the white black and reds that have taken up a large space of stash now. I like the...

18K bullets isn't enough for you?
I load Zero for most everything 45 auto and 38spl. 230 and 185gr JHP, 185gr and 200gr SWC. The Hornady XTP are pretty good too.
If you don't have a ton of volume ... any new to me brass gets reamed, and the small primer won't take the large reamer. Segregate those to a special bin for smalls.
FTX is supposed to offer more consistent expansion at lower velocities and in gel that isn't bare. Notice for the 10mm hornady uses the XTP for critical defense, but for 45acp and 380 auto which are slower velocities they use the FTX.
The FTX 45 185gr used to be sold as reloading components...
