Excellent! I'm sure that you don't need me to tell you that is a very promising sign.

Used 8.5 of longshot (this is .5 past max for jacketed so don't try this at home) and ran them out to 1.24" with just a light crimp so I dont get bullet setback. My experience with longshot is that with light plated bullets it usually needs a little extra powder to get them going compared to jacketed and heavy ones. I based the length off the hornady rounds so if they hand feed I think they should run, ill report back soon thanks for the help.
Also a bit of advice these plated bullets are a pain in the ass to get them seated without cutting the thin plating. I ruined the first 4 or 5 and kept flaring the cases out to the point that it wasn't improving. The lee chamfer tool (I think thats what its called) is your friend with plated bullets and the excessive flaring isn't necessary. Just run a few turns in the case mouth and get a smooth edge and the bullets will go right in.
