How fast do you want to go with those 255 pills?
You might want to try some blue dot or that area of burn rate (AA7 ??? I've been using AA9 and 2400 lately, in a 9"pistol barrel and as yet haven't been able to slow the heavy-pills down much), the fast burners are really fast burning, the pressures come up quickly, thus sealing the case well and the speeds are way off max. The only real worry is, can you make the action function as normal, with the "Relative Quickness", of the fast burners?..

A couple of items first --- as what type of bullet are you using from Xtreme:
1. Naked lead bullets will have poor accuracy because of gas cutting at the gas port. A tall gas check (0.10") is required and we have not found these readily available. The cast bullet needs to be .452" in diameter and better yet .453".

Siringo-
BD1 has received some of these aluminum checks, but I don't know whether he's tested them yet.
Look at his post on Oct 6, 2011, on this thread: Cast Boolits?.
He doesn't seem to have reported any results with these.
