Anyone tried heavier recoil spring in xdm 10mm?

John Andrews from Wolff Gunsprings emailed me back.
He said these are the dimensions of their 22# XDM spring (I assume when brand new):

Wire - .054"
End OD - .515"
Body OD / ID -  .513" / .405"
Length – 6.5 inches long with 27.5 coils

They are sending me a new one.

Hope they get the new spring to ya soon. It made a noticeable difference in mine.

Hmmmm,
Just go the new spring from Wolffe and it appears to be the same/short one that I got from Midway before...
Only about 5-3/8" long on the tape measure.... Why so short?
Do you think somebody in the factory/distribution/packaging is mixing up the springs for the 4" guns with the 4.5" guns?
What else can it be?

JTracy, you are using the #54222 spring right? Is your 6+ inches long like the guy at Wolffe told me it should be?
You'd think they'd check this after me sending them the dimensions of the one I already had.

This is getting stupid. Maybe it's me?
The 22# Wolff spring for the 4.5" XDM is their shortest one for that platform at @5-3/8" long, but because the wire gauge is the heavier .054" they say that's the correct length. (I don't know why AZrckcrawler's spring measures differently with Wire Dia .055" and OAL 5.827"?)

I cannot get within 10% of that 22# on my spring gauge, which granted is not a super "scientific" gauge, but it sure shows the correct weights for 1911 springs.
So I figure I'm not compressing the #54222 enough, so with 27 coils at .054", I figure the max one can compress the spring (no space between the coils) is @ 1.458". So this morning, I run the spring down to that length and can barely get 20# on the scale

Talked to Dave, the GM at Wolff Springs, he told me that spring should reach 22# at 1.540" of compression which it doesn't.
He said he would check a #54222 out of their stock on their spring gauge and see what it reads and to call him back later today.

Springfield says all the 4.5" XDm guns are the same dimensionally, so it can't be that the 10mm is a different gun/recoil spring length, right?
Springfield also said to me that the factory spring is about 16#-16.5# which has to be a mistake, right?
What am I missing?
I feel like I'm in the recoil spring Twilight Zone....
When I put what is supposed to be a heavier than stock spring in it, I can feel the slide smacking the frame when I fire the gun.
