A 250 FTX bullet hits the lands at 2.36 COL. The 230 FMJ RN & FP are just at the end of the case by the time they hits the lands. Dawg, do you recall what the COL was when you say you "loaded them long"?

After a couple of 5-shot groups, I'll start taking the COL out and charge weight up to when excessive pressure signs occur. Currently, the 225 FTX hits the new barrel's lands at 2.32 COL but only .167 shank left in the case. I prefer at least .226 of shank in the case, so will probably limit the COL to 2.26 . Also will try a slower powder or two for comparison to Lil Gun, given the faster twist and 22 inch barrel.
