My dvc .40 is ready to pick up from the gun smith haven’t shot it in a year or two due to ftf issues looking to work up a load using a 200 gn bullet and cfe powder, any advice on a starting point? 
5.2 grains of CFE pistol @ 1.205 OAL gave me 170-172pf out of 5 inch Para p16. you can go as long as 1.255 if you're chamber can take it

Thanks! That oal feeds reliably? I’ve been told to be around 1.185 for reliable feeding.
yes. the longer it is the closer to the feed ramp it will be resulting in much smoother feeding. only limiting factor is what length your mags can hold
