That's confusing??? How can that load be so light it barely cycles the slide and be "a bit of a warm load" that is flattening primers both at the same time? If the pressures are so low the slide is sluggish the same low pressures can't be flattening primers too.150gr SWCs from Bayou Bullets over 3.0gr of W231/HP38.
Its a super soft shooter, barely cycles my action and pretty darn accurate to boot. A bit of a warm load (somewhat flattened primers) thanks to the bullets taking up half my case capacity but I can't go any lower otherwise it probably won't cycle.
Your pressures will be way over the SAAMI limits before you see flat primers and if they are that high the slide would be slamming back with excessive force, not barely cycling.
