I’m working with a Summers Enterprises hitek coated 145 rn .356 but actually .357 with coating. I’m determining max and working OAL for a S&W Shield Plus performance center with the non ported 4” barrel.
Max OAL came to 1.127 to plunk and spin freely. I’m thinking of 1.121-1.120 for a working OAL. Am I getting too short for the 145? It chambers smoothly, no issues.
I’m planning to start with 2.8 WST and work up to get in the 800-850fps range. Thoughts?
I can also size this bullet to .356. That might help lengthen the OAL?
Slugged barrel at .3555, maybe .3558 Lands and groove pattern make it hard to accurately measure.
Planning to start with 5 each starting at 2.8and maybe work up to 3.1gr WST give or take .1?
thank you for your time,
Gary
