Can't find data for this bullet. Online data is all over the map. Ranges from 1.115 to 1.130 inches for various 180 gr bullets. Gun is s&w2.0 mp with 4 " barrel. Any thoughts?

Thanks for info. Not just powder possibly. !st and successor rounds misfed. I loaded up 10 more and stretched to 1.125 and they fed almost perfect. i will stretch to 1.128 or 9 and try again. Will also try some lighter 165 gr if i can find them. I have some factories in that weight to compare to.
