Hi, BDR

I actually have that OAL pic printed off at home

As I do, because my range is about an hour away and I can really only get there 1 say a week, I worked up several different loadings between the starting load and a bit under maximum and tried them all. No, trial and error might not be the best way to do things, but it's what I can do with available time and equipment.

What I found to work the best accuracy-wise was:
125gr MBC
4.5 BE powder
1.13 OAL (Beretta liked 115gr at this length, so I thought I'd try it)

I was putting rounds inside of 2-3 inches at 25 yards - I don't think I can ask for better than that.

Would anyone with QuickLoad would be willing to run the details on this through?
