Had i not just endured a very unpleasant experience with an individual that didn't understand such things, i would probably agree, but now i think that would be too long. Now my inclination would be an OAL of 1.305".

No.
Did you sink the vent liner into the plug farther than the original flash hole?
Ha, what do you think?
I was so happy you asked about the QRBP, because the easiest way to explain, was to show a picture. This meant i had to remove it from the rifle. Removing the QRBP gives me a 'thrill'. It seems to unscrew itself. This time there is 21 shots on the plug. Note the threads. Note the small amount of soot on the primer end. The way the plug marries the barrel, seems to work better than i ever imagined it could. No grease, no teflon wrap, no blow by around the threads.
The bullet is a 300g Deep Curl found in the dirt. The primers on the left came from the Accura, and measure 0.294" to 0.295" long. Of course i was using a home made plug in the Accura, that was head spaced to achieve a 'crush' of these primer. The primers on the right came from the V2, and measure 0.311" to 0.313" long.
