Just ordered a set of AMPCO Beryllium nipples from DGW for my ROA. Anyone used these?

The stainless steel nipples as originally supplied on both my Rugers work fine but have, IMO, too large a flash hole bored through. Sometimes they allow powder grains/dust to flow through when filling the chambers and have always done so (they're not worn out). Thought I'd try the Ampco since they supposedly have a finer flash hole. They're not cheap but being beryllium should last a long time - especially with light target loads (15g FFFg + filler).

I have a Navy Arms 12 Ga SXS that is real hard on nipples. I have been useing Ampco nipples for the last year and find them to last alot longer before they are hamered too much and have to be changed.
