That's pretty much what my experience there was like. Except at least you had a nice jig, they didn't have one for my 1827F.
One lot# of PB shot almost as well as one lot# of $Xact, so I chose the PB.
Did they ever get their chrono fixed? I would have liked to compare velocities but the proof on the paper, so to speak, was what I was most interested in.
Hard to believe I'm down to 900 rounds out of a 5000 case already, arggg!
