I was waiting until I had the chance to go back up to the range again and try my next small batch. I had a side note with swampratt who showed me several issues I still had with the process itself. Using lube on sizing and not cleaning it off, guessing on flare to seat a bullet instead of measuring with caliper and doing it right for the size of bullet I use, seating a bit too short because my factory examples were instead of bringing that up to 1.270, checking several times that I'm getting a consistent taper to take out the flare I'm putting in...Yeah. Clean up the process helped a great deal. Looks like I'm needing these extreme 200g bullets with hp38 in my glock to be on the higher side as a couple suggested. 5.5 is cycling much better. One more test with a few at 5.6 but in the end it is all about the inexperience and tightening up the steps I'd say. Did I mention more than three times that there are definite steps to make it smoother and consistent? Ha.Thanks much.</blockquote>
