For this 9mm pistol the distance from the muzzle to the top of the shoulder is 4.617 and the distance for the muzzle to the lrn bullet, inserted into the chamber, is 3.555 and this would make the lands start 1.062, minus .010 for any different in shell size, put lands at 1.052 great, fine, except for one thing, the minimum oal length for this rd, according to the Lee manual is 1.100 So what is one suppose to do with that?
At 1.100 the rd is 1\16 above the shoulder and at 1.052 it is 1\32 above the shoulder.
Gentelmen, any thoughts or replys you might have concerning this thread would be greatly appreciated.
Other info: LRN .356 dia.
