I love them. I have them on 5 different rifles. The aperture is easy to change out. Depending on your eyes and size of target 100 should not be hard to do.

I lIke it. Adds more room without taking bench space.
I do have the NOE 403 GREEN WF RG 2. Works great in both XDM. When I do my part right and get the HP pins hot, it drops the boolits very easy. Was wworth the wait for me.

I have not tried N135. With many of the different VV powders I reload with, they all have softer recoil at normal loads. I hope this helps.
