Chinook, I see you are in Sonoma.. where in Sonoma?
I do push BP quite a bit, but you are right, they do toot their own horn quite a bit. I'm partial to the LBC 43 wads for the hulls I use. Once I switch over to a different hull, I will likely re-evaluate my strategy. For one ounce loads I tend to like the older BP12-tuff, but I will likely change my tune later.
