I did my first box last night, 115 gr plated fmj, 5.3 grains Longshot, 1.130" OAL. The rounds cycled fine, but they were scattered all over the target and they felt like real light powder puff's. Hodgdon list's the minimum at 5 grains and the max at 6 grains, so the powder charge should be fine.
I think I'll try Unique at 6 grains on my next box, it gives a better cartridge fill and I've always gotten good results with it. I'm also going to up the crimp a little more.
