Thanks for all the help and input. I have settled on OAL of 1.650-1.655 and it seems to chamber and function fine. I also did some testing with magazines and the 30rd KCI mags seem to also feed smoother than the USGI 15 rd mags for this OAL using bayou bullets. This is in my new Auto Ordnance M1.
Thus far, using the ladder of deeper seating depths the 1.663 and 1.662 cycle without a fail to fire and no light primer strike. In these rounds i used 14gr of lil gun with the same 115gr lead coated Bayou bullets. No high pressure signs. Looks like the chamber is slightly shorter and the...
Tonight i plan to use new brass and measure everyone to ensure shortest spec. I will then seat to 1.670 for a few then down to 1.665 for a few more rounds. I will test them tomorrow and report back. For now this is the only solution i can come up with. The first day i brought it home i ran 50...

I was looking for Info about mags too. Thanks. I will say that after shooting my new Girsan Regard MC today, I was impressed with it. Very accurate too. This from someone who is more of a long rifle kind of guy. If you buy one, you will not be disappointed.
