No kidding about the hide. I love Bomars, but they really suck on a gun that is carried a lot. The ears on the Novak did take a little getting used to, as it takes a split second more to line everything up, but now that I have used them for a while, I am good to go. I do have to admit a buried Bomar cut is a thing of beauty ;^)

And I did load up some of those 250rnfp bullets we discussed in the other thread. As I mentioned before, regular acp brass is more foregiving to oal due to the brass being shorter than the Rowland. They feed so slick that it almost feels like a missed feed, seriously. And I may have mentioned this sometime earlier, but I compared them to Marshall's (Beartooth) 225 fn acp bullet, and the 225 has a .300 meplat, while the rnfp is .250

Marshall highly recommended his 225 to me, and they do make a pretty wide very deep hole in wet print in the Rowland. I wished they were a tad heavier, but I may test them again in my current project.
