Hodgdon's load data online shows the COL for Hornady's 185 gr. JSWC to be 1.135"

I load 230 gr. plated bullets to 1.200"

You may want to look at a couple other sources and see if you should reduce the length to 1.135" or not.

I had feeding problems with 230 gr. LRN loaded to 1.275", shortening to 1.200" solved them.
