In doing some experimenting this morning, I found out that I won't be able to load the bullet as long as I had originally thought. That jammed into the throat of the chamber and pushed the bullet back quite a bit.
So, I'm going to reduce the COL and will need to reduce the powder charge some too. How much yet, I'm not sure, but probably not a huge lot.
I had planned on seating the bullet out to the full 2.250" that would fit in a magazine, but that set back the bullet to 2.213" and was a chore extracting it out of the chamber by hand, but it's better to find this stuff out now by hand than by pulling the trigger causing a pressure spike.
So, looks like I'm going to be seating the bullet to ~2.185" at first and that will allow me to tweak the COL around a little to see if I can find a sweet spot it likes for accuracy.
The factory bullets are seated the same length, and they're really accurate at the distance that I'm shooting and after I pulled that bullet and seated a fresh one, I had no problems chambering and extracting the case so that's where I'm going to start with.
One positive about the 270 gr bullet is it's considerably shorter than the factory wolf bimetal bullet. So, will give me more options for powder without compressing it.
