The reason for loading these first rounds so short is I was loading this same load with 55 gn V-Max bullets to 2.225 and had great luck with those 500.
Since the Dogtown were .120 shorter I shortened my OAL to have the same combustion area within the case. They're shooting at almost the exact same speed.
I'll bump a few out to 2.2 and run them to compare speeds maybe this afternoon. I'm thinking that would slow them down a little with a larger combustion area???

3:30 PM:Boy, didn't slow down much at 2.2 oal.
5 shots of each, and the 2.2's averaged only 14fps slower than the 2.105s.
