Would love to see the 3" Model 65 reintroduced. Kicking myself for not buying one when they were out, although, truthfully, quality at that time wasn't that great. The 686 3" available now is nice, but a bit heavy.

M&P diet preferences I've had real good luck with the Federal value pack (375) ammo, 36 grain HP high velocity (1260 fps stated velocity). Aguila 40g standard velocity (box says .22 Aguila SuperExtra) also works well. My experience with Winchester white box is that it would jam a...

Joe, Sounds like you're doing pretty much everything right. As others have pointed out, don't get too crazy about the overall case length - it's going to vary some, and the variances you reported aren't bad at all. As far as avoiding pressure spikes, the two obvious biggies are 1) too much...
