    What ever way you go,

    DO NOT use your oven in direct sunlight during a heat wave.
    I HATE auto-correct

    Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

    My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

    Looking good!!

    Powder Coating, not as nearly rewarding as shooting tiny groups, but still rewarding none the less.

    Neither is really wrong. Folks do both. Leave it to your gun cause what IT LIKES is more important.

    Being a Bullseye shooter for nearly 40 years, I crimp and in the crimp groove. Shooting a S&W52 and a S&W 14.

    I like to crimp revolver bullets in the groove. That is how the roll crimp is designed to work. TL designs just give you more options on where to crimp

The 38spl was cutting shells and the 9mm had about a 2” grouping. Both experienced the occasional flier. Put 50 rounds through both, neither showing and real signs of fouling with the 38spl showing more at outside the forcing cone just into the rifling and the glock showed absolutely no signs of fouling.
