If someone could dust off their formula for 147gr lead flat point with Bullseye, I'd appreciate it. Lyman manual has 2.8-3.5gr and OAL of 1.058".

We were trying to do 9mm for first time, have all set up on Dillon 650 and have a few done, but they:
1. look very short for oal - 1.05"
2. were not chambering in any of our guns, glock 17, and some other 9mm.

What is max. oal?
Does having such a short bullet increase the pressure a lot?

Would like to know thoughts as this is our first 9mm in a while.
