Thanks Gadawg...I cycled and fired 5 rounds with a COL 1.125 @ 3.9 grains (minimum) and they all ejected and fed great.

I initially went with the 1.125 COl because I used the Hodgdon online Reloading Data Canter and the Lee manual which both recommend 1.125, but then checked the Hornady manual since it's a Hornady bullet for the dimensions and found the 1.075 COL and didn't know if I should use the manufacturers data (bullet specific) or gun powder data.

Does anyone know if XTP stands for the same thing...the Lee manual has an 115 gr XTP bullet listed, but XTP seems to be a Hornady registered trademark name...
