I have the might armory decapping die and they are awesome!!

i basically re drew a gallant 125gr round nose coated projectile. its close but its not a perfect match of the gallant bullet. i recovered 2 projectiles and you can tell they sealed against the rifling, they also stabilized okay. i shot them through a chrono, but i was having issues with the thing and didnt get good readings.
right now the biggest issue is trying to get some mass inside these projectiles. i might give lead a shot or see if i can find some 25 acp projectiles to up the weight. its sort of counter intuitive to stuff a bullet into a 3d printed bullet, but i guess that is whats needed to get it done. someone suggested stuffing the prints with tungsten, but i was told i will likely run into some sort of legal issue (armor piercing stuff?). its also incredibly expensive compared to lead. i think im going to give lead a shot first; although i need to finalize my ogive and bullet OAL profile first before i move on.
