Some people there have sent there guns in and had the barrels replaced under warranty

Do you know that the replacement barrels alone solve the problem? Or do they make some other mod? I'm just thinking out loud here that if the replacement barrel drops in, he might be able to return just the barrel to S&W and avoid the shipping expense involved in returning the whole pistol.
DennRN,
Please read
this required post for publishing loads outside of published load limits. In this instance, however, it is just for future reference, as your load is over 6% below the published Alliant maximum load for a jacketed 124 grain bullet with the same powder. That puts you just below the midpoint (assuming -10% starting load) of that published jacketed load's middle range, and the jacketed load range middle point is where Berry says the normal maximums for their bullets lie. So you're not really above a published maximum, albeit indirectly so.
