I have a 6" barrel on my Bisley 45 and with a similar load, 26.1 grains of H110 and a 250 XTP and WLP primer, I am getting similar velocity as you. I honed my throats to .452 so that bullet will just pass through without resistance. The groove diameter on my gun slugged at .4505


Rod, too.

Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.
