What would be a good oal to start with that will feed reliably ?

I would remove the barrel and drop in a fired case, note the relation of the case head to the barrel hood. When you drop in a loaded round it should look the same. When a bullet is seated to far out the case head will be proud of the barrel hood.

Put your dummy load in the magazine and see if you can get it to load properly using the side release. Now after ejecting the dummy round check it carefully to see if there are any marks on the bullet from the rifling. No marks of any kind, you should have something that works in your pistol.

I make up several dummy rounds and manually cycle them through the gun, I measure them before and after to make sure the COL has not changed.
