With COLs of between 1.155 and 1.160, function is perfect. I prefer the 8.5s, as they are gentle on my PO8s. I use the 9.0s in my Star BM and Browning HP.
Hi,

At that OAL, do you shoot full 8 round magazines with no jamming?

Both your OALs and powder charges seem well of to me.


Respectfully,


Sieger
