[QUOTE="THUDDOME, post: 2599525, member: 121463"] I agree with everything you said. The 156 opened this cartridge up. And with the hollow points, if I'm loading for hunting I always check to make sure the points haven't been folded or blunted. I assume that would stop the expansion, I've heard war stories, never experienced it but it makes sense. I use an K&M arbor press with LE Wilson die without issue. I also use Forster Ultra-Micrometer but have really liked seating the the arbor at the range on the bench. I did try the 153.5 and saw very little to no speed change, accuracy was the same, POI changed by 4" high. Overall not enough to make a change from the 156s. I was kind of baffled why Berger created them. [/QUOTE]
