Sorry I lost this thread somehow. Not really sure what my OAL is. I dropped back to where I'm seating just behind the shoulder. Originally my seating die was set up for my old 45acp Contender barrel. I was loading it out to the lands. Too long for the Taurus, they would jam up the mag when you loaded more than 4.
Took it out to the range the other day and tried aimed fire at 25yrds. Managed to keep about 7 of 10 on a paper plate which surprised me. Was shooting about 5 inches low and 4 inches to the left. Took a while to get the set screw backed out but I finally got the rear site drifted so I'm zeroed horizonally but not much I can do about vertical.
