Start with a little less powder, about 2 tenths and oal of about 1.185. Get ahold of a chrono and work up what work/ feels right to you . Gun and people like diff. things. Load ten to twenty like that add 10th as u go. Make sure they feed without any issues at all. That is, to me more important than the recoil, but Im only a "C".class shooter, but I don't have feeding issues.
