[QUOTE="texasdave, post: 287644, member: 1960"] I did talk with the smith about the changes. I was aware but now that I am working new brass I have become aware of the differences. I would not blame him at all. I also agree on the molly bullets. I did not like that Idea as I do not shoot them and had heard of the build up before. I like the fire forming Idea of using cornmeal as my other concern was barrel wear. I am not sure about max pressure but so far that has not been a problem. I am not shooting 300g bullets either. Most of my loads are on 180g to 200g bullets. My other concern was if I needed to replace the barrel I would not have his reamer available or hims so I wanted to not end up with lots of brass etc and then have to start over with a new chamber etc. I like the Idea of Hornandy's new dies and want to check on that. I really appreciate everyones suggestions and can not begin to thank everyone for their help !! Sincerely, [/QUOTE]
