While that is not a bad price for those bullets, I would rather get anything from RMR (Rocky MTN Reloading) just as good of a bullet, maybe better and cheaper for any of them,115/124/124JHP, even the 135 jacketed. Even with their "Insurance" it's still cheaper. YMMV. I have and do shoot the HAP bullets and they are great just more $$$.

 Over the last 5 or 6 years I've called RMR with a question about their bullets twice and the owner Jake answered the phone both times and talked with me Like I was his largest customer. RMR has the best product, best price and the best customer service that I've found in my more than 50 years of reloading.

Due to the Match Winner's sharp shoulder, you must do the Push Test to determine the Max OAL in your CZ chamber.

Hornady 115 HAP is my go to bullet.  They really load nice in my Dillon 550 and are very consistent in overall length.  They shoot so nice too.

Which seating anvil do you use? The HAP is a conical HP, but Dillon only offers flat and FMJ (RN) seaters.

I’ve only reloaded hollow points since I’ve bought my presses.  Has to be the flat seater.  They load nice.  The bullet looks the same before and after it goes through the press.   Does the conical make a difference?

The flat anvil is not going to have any "centering" ability as it seats. Usually you want the anvil to haver the same or similar shape as the  ogive so that it centers and seats with no deformation of the tip.

Just checked it comes with round nose seater and semi-wadcutter seater.  So round nose it is.   I’ve loaded 1000’s of these rounds.  Have Dillon case guage and check every round and measure them with dial caliper also.
