    I will be honest, I found that 23.5 Grain of H335 seemed to be the magic number for me. If i load them up to about 25 they turn into flares.

    Good to know! From the research I've done, the 23+/- gr. Range seemed to be the standard. A lot recommend starting at 21.5 and work up to be safe.
    Thanks for sharing!

    I didn't, I could feel that there was plenty of neck tension due to the length of the projectile.

    I put a light crimp to them just to make sure there was no setback when running through my AR

    Neck tension should hold it on most rifles, but on an AR type think I would put a crimp on it as you stated.
