In those old cartridges it isn't uncommon for any factory loads, if you can find any, to be disappointing. The good thing is you have 200 rounds that might surprise you and after that you have a good supply of brass to find the sweet load.

Ken, in my experience it's unusual that a roller will outshoot a quality Sharps. What kind of Sharps did/do you have?
