I don't shoot as much as some on the forum but will run 2000 reloads a yr. My loading has improved & if they keep doing as good as this batch looks my PD stuff will be all I buy. Like to get my practice time up to about 3K a yr. Preacher schedule & work too, that don't leave a lot of yard mowng time.

PGB Bullets Ranger Texas.
I Mailed my bullet order in Tuesday of last week to Amy in Ranger, Tex. & received my bullets on Monday of this week. Six day turnaround. Have been busy w/ a large family funeral so the delay. I tried this last night & wanted to get pictures of the bullets. They look good. It has been a while & I can't figure it out again with it written down in front of me. I am sorry & will get pics when I can get the son-in-law over again to reinstruct. I will learn to do that on my own before I die. Lord grant me to live to a ripe old age of 968. Methuselah can still have the record.
My order was 230 gr. cast LRN. They are packed in heave plastic bags 250 to the bag. I like that. Each bag is completely labelled Cal.45 230 gr LRN sized .451.
I weighed 25. Average on my RCBS scales was 227.8. 227 was the lightest 229 the heaviest.
Measured the same 25. Round .451 - 100% uniform. Hight .665-.669. Most .666-667. Very uniform. Symetry excellent. When I left the foundry I was Class A machinist & metal patternmaker, shift leadman. Her molds are symetrical & tight.
Lube ring is uniform. Bullets are very clean. Lube is in the ring & no pieces sticking on bullet somewhere that needs cleaning or gum up dies. This is much cleaner than the ones I got from last supplier.
.050 Chamfer at base is also very uniform.
Base molding mark is flush.
I am well pleased w/ the bullets. Will do this again.
Right now I hope I can load ammo as good as the bullets.
