No worries here Marv. Love to hear you chime in. I respect your opinion. You aren't commenting on me, just the equipment.

I didn't buy mine as a specialty piece for only one caliber for one job. Mine is a workhorse. Not the quietest, certainly not the lightest, and not the most efficient. I'm entirely aware of that. Mine was purchased for one specific reason. Quick interchangeability across three or four hosts without any muss or fuss. It accomplishes that task very well.

.22lr's are quiet, especially sub sonics. The .223/5.56 are hearing safe, and fun to shoot, and the latest trial with the 6.8 is showing the results that I really bought this for. A really muffled pop with a "thwack" at the receiving end. Sure the 115 gr FMJ won't be a great performer, terminally, at those speeds, but the light skinned 100's and some of the heavier JHP's will be my go to pills.

Think overbuilt, smacking them upside the head with a 2x4. It gets the job done.

I've literally loaded a few million rounds on our 1050 and 650's, as a commercial venture back in the 90's, so I am familiar in working up loads. While my process might not be the same as your, it cuts to the chase quickly, and finesse is developed at the end.

Love to hear your thoughts, as I am always willing to learn.
