Nice.

Yeah I'm stoked I got it shooting with AR2205. I also use AR2205 in my 32H&R and 32/20.
At what point does lack of maintenance become patina?

With respect to the Hornady 125gr SST vs Speer 125gr TNT, as discussed ealier I ran into feeding issues with the Speer bullet using a C.O.L. of 2.05". In contrast, the Hornady bullet was seated to 2.1".

Incidently, I seated a Speer bullet using the same depth setting used for the Hornady SST; yielding a shorter C.O.L. of 2.035" . With the shorter C.O.L. the Speer bullets are now feeding with similar reliability to the Hornady.

Yep they are a little bit fussy about what they like with regard to feeding.
