200gr RN, 4.3gr's of Autocomp. functions perfectly in RIA'a, S&W's, Colts, remingtons and a couple of mutts. I cast the bullets and coat with Hi-tech. Never had a leading problem and I compete with them in the RIA.

I had a full reloading room until my youngest daughter's Apartment got robbed in OKC, she moved home to attend college locally. I was still good then my oldest daughter got divorced, decided to open her own business, and moved home with my grandson. So, my reloading room is now my LNL APG press, RCBS Summit, case trimmer, and powder measure mounted to a small grinder bench.

Shoot, that works don't it? And you get the girls and grandson to enjoy.
I am happy with it, reloaded 30 308 rounds last night and shot them this morning.
I am happy to see my daughter being responsible and for taking a risk. She saw being homeless as an opportunity.

Any quality (Bayou, ACME, S&S, etc.) 200SWC over 4.8 grains of E3. No temp sensitivity, soft, clean, accurate and punches perfectly sharp round holes.

May try 185s next if they are softer but I'm skeptical of that.

I like 185s allot, 185 LSWC Zero bullets from Roze distributors are a very well thought of bullet.
The 185 over 3.5gn bullseye is a classic bullseye competition load, hits at around 675fps and is very accurate and soft shooting. May need to reduce the recoil spring to 11-12lbs or so to cycle properly.
