Great for plinking
By Phill H. on Jan 22, 2024I'm an avid shooter and reloader, though mostly do benchrest. Pistol is outside my usual realm of shooting. Still, I ordered some dies and started looking for components.
I knew that pistol shooting (and reloading) is largely about volume, and I trust in the Speer brand, so I ordered these to start with for my pistol-reloading journey.
They work good! I've tried a number of off-the-shelf ammo brands and seem to hit a wall of getting 5" groups at 15 yards. That's okay. I have only done a load workup with one type of powder, so far, but I've been able to handedly shrink my group sizes by half! It can only get better as I expand on my load development.
The one downside is that, being copper-plated, you have to be extra mindful while crimping, especially if you are going to crimp while seating in one operation - you'll likely put a mark on the bullet with a thin ring on the ogive, from the seating stem, and, if seating too hard, risk denting or deforming the bullet.





What started as a small dream has become a multi-million dollar international business
selling ammunition, reloading supplies and accessories.
