Anyone running leipheimer Yamaha's modified 8bu's?

I'm curious what people think of the 330hp clone 8bu's? From what I've read they are 7g heavier then the Yamaha 8bu's.

I have the yammi 8bu's with MPI rivets and small washers at 65.5 grams. At 15 psi I can't turn them over 8100. At $8.00ea plus shipping for the rivets I'm thinking of trying these if I can flip'em. Anyone try these on a 240 kit with success? Before the MPI rivets i had them loaded with 17.2's plus additional washers and was always on the limiter. Guess I went to far... What a waste of that nice brass!

Thanks in advance!

I've tried them. They are quite a bit wider than the 8bu's, so once you have the rivets in, make sure you've got enough side clearance so they won't bind up on the shieve. I went through a couple of rollers due to this problem.
