Just loaded up some more ammo for it. Lengthening the OAL to 1.26" leaves the nick right on the tip of the nose, but it's bigger than before - almost more of a 'gouge' than a nick. The round still chambered, though. Going to 1.19" leaves me with a much fainter mark, about halfway between the tip of the bullet and the case mouth.
I'll take it to the range in the next few days, and if everything feeds, I'll just leave it alone. While it would be nice to have one of those "feeds absolutely anything" 1911s, I have no problem sticking with 230 LRN if it works.
