 my max oal was 1.135. wondering if I should try 1.130? the 1.125 oal seemed be OK as far as accuracy goes and cycled perfect.
 I will need a few range trips to get used to my new gun, I only have 140 rounds down the pipe.  Hoping to go this afternoon.
 Like your handle...love the 69 GTX.

cracker57,  I've owned my car since 1984.  Fun to drive!
Regarding your OAL - I'd encourage you to re-read the sticky on how to determine the OAL for your gun.  I feel 1.130 would be way to close for comfort.  I would be leery of doing the 1.125" due to variances in the press or bullets.  Don't want to create an over-pressure situation.

My shadow 2 likes 124 Gr bullets over 115. 124 shoots softer than 115 too and that helps in shooting faster in competition.

Here’s a couple of load development info when I was using Winchester 231 and 124 Gr JHP from PD on my shadow 2. I’m using sport pistol and N320 now.

 my bad I meant to post I was wondering if I should give 1.120 a try, it would give more room for error.
 Thanks for watching out for me.
