Well the Gas Checked option can help with leading issues to a particular point! The non gas checked bullets can work at properly sized diameters.  Also understand these 0.3000" plus MEPLAT bullets may require shorter COL around 0.2420" to improve reliable feeding.  Also being loaded for Glock aftermarket barrel you should be OK with the 0.401" bullet diameter, if using the factory barrel 0.402" might be better.

I use the 200gr WFN for back up when I go hog hunting. In a Glock 20 with a KKM barrel. I load them to an O.A.L. of 1.23. Keep in mind that these bullets are shorter in length than other 200gr bullets. The base of the bullet will not be as deep in the case as other bullets.

Ok awesome! I did slug my BarSto and it measured at .400 on the money so I  will be doing the .401s in WFN. What powder and how many grains? In this pistol I shoot 9.8 grns of LongShot with the 200 XTP at an average of 1210 fps. Wondering will the 8.2 that UW use will be ok with these particular gas checks.
