The other thing to sit consider is you have to go as short as it will chamber in your tightest barrel meeting I could’ve ran my CZ and my Glock 43X at 1.110 I believe it was but I had to take it down to 1.047 to accommodate my M&p, now I’m thinking about getting quick loads just to see how much that .070 increases my pressure .. that’s the part that kind of stinks as you have to go as short as your Tws barrel if you’re going to shoot the same load in multiple guns

Quick Loads is only an estimating tool. You'll still need fire the rounds over a chrono to prove any of your estimates. So why spend the $65 ??

Proportionalize the load for OAL reduction, then begin at the (also proportionalized) Starting Load, while shooting over a chrono. That's the only way to KNOW.
