Decided to use Bullseye after I found an open bottle in my powder stash.  Results have been pretty good using the Missouri Bullet Co. 115 gr Coated RN over 4.2 grain of powder.  I’ll give the 125gr coated bullets a shot when I order up some more projectiles. By the book, all the cases should be trimmed to the same length, but from what I’ve read almost nobody does this. It took a bit of work to find the right amount of case mouth bell and taper crimp to get consistent results with my mixed range brass. I found it’s easier to bell several cases at a time, measure the bell (eyeball), find the average and then adjust the die.  I used the same process for dialing in the taper crimp, I did measure the finished crimp diameter with digital calipers.  My Hornady powered die worked like a champ. I have the precision pistol powder metering kit in it. Once it’s dialed in the charges were so consistent that I detected no variation using my little MTM digital scale.</blockquote>
