I havent tried these, as I do all mine by hand, but I hear good things.

I will have to give them a try sometime KT.
I usually set all mine by hand and a small slit punch.
Takes lots of time...

KT,
Do you still need to punch slots, or just whack them right in?

Weaver has them down to 1/8 in the manual setter and 1/4" for auto feed in their floor model press.  The manual hand feed is still faster than hand setting but be sure to keep the prongs oriented for a neat look.  Figured the next time I call I will ask if they have plans for the smaller size auto feeder set up.
