Thanks for the notes.

grune, my mags were a Kimber factory and a Chip McCormick for the Kimber Stainless target, Ruger factory mags for the Ruger P97. Thanks for the powder advice, I'll try the 4.7 grains.

I'm glad to see I was way over length with my COAL of over 1.270. I don't know why I would think of such a length except for the fact that the Midway loadmap had several .45 , 200gr SWC seated that far out.

I'm gonna go load some dummy setups with no primer or powder and feed them through my guns. Forget 1.260, I'll go at most 1.250, maybe shorter. Lots of case room left with the Bullseye and its unlikely to generate excessive pressure.

Madison- Kimber Stainless target and Ruger P97. I just target shoot for fun. I've handloaded about 1000 rounds so far, mostly 230gr round nose.
