    I think you have those perfected. I would carry those bullets for hunting/protection. Those big soft lead hollow points look like good carry loads.

    Wheew! Those look GOOD! That SWC-HP looks like it will open up very well and fast. That RN-HP looks like it is the perfect match for a fast reload from a speed loader.

    Now that I'm home for some time (at least a 15 days,) I need to get a station on my press set up to load these.

    Hmm,

    Should I cannelure these, and where?

    That depends on what you use to crimp. The Lee FCD no need to cann. them. Seat and crimp I would cann. them. Where, At the length you want to loads them

    All kidding aside I'd crimp ~0.300-0.400 from the base. Unless you need more room for a hot load or if your bullets are longer than I think.
