I need use full up for approach and landing with flaps and still have to hold a
little back pressure. I don't think this is isolated to my aircraft. I don't
think I have ever needed full down though.

Jim,
I am only a looker on a Series V, but the rod end on the end of the jack screw
on the local V is snugged in pretty tight. I suspect there might be a little
slop in the gear train. I think what I would do is drop the rod end as far as
it will go and then cycle the actuator to the top and then reposition the rod
end so there is no contact with the tube. My guess is that the only time you
will ever trim to the extremes of the movement is during the test phase when you
will demonstrate controllability in the case of a run away trim system.
