One thing I dislike about using the barrel is the cartridge sticks out differently in different barrels and if you guess a little off you'll get a failure to go into battery :(

Is your barrel old enough to be throated, or have you had it throated? I had the same problem with my Kimber and my cast boolits - the thing had no throat, just an abrupt change from chamber to rifling. Dougguy fixed it.
