Thing for my way of thinking - fire forming with actual projectiles should match the chamber more precisely to what you’ll ultimately be loading...

You may find the Hornady projectiles do not perform as well as other target rounds. I have used Berger and Sierra MK which group very well. The Bergers need no batching at all.
