I was going to use Alliant Power Pistol powder, new Win brass and Fed primers. These would be work up loads starting at 6.4gr and stop at 7.0gr. The only way I can get the loaded cartridge to eject (without bumping it down through the magwell) is to shrink the OAL to 1.252" from the Lyman listing of 1.275". I think I will just load them up at the "called for" OAL and hope I never have to clear the firearm in a hurry.

I don't understand why most manuals give different OALs for certain cartridges. If Lee says 1.90 to 1.260....then I would be fine at 1.250". Perhaps I'll load some up at the shorter length and send them for you to try...buddy.
