Many thanks to JohnnyBravo and Cat! I was experimenting with OAL on that same load and seemed to find 1.275" more accurate than 1.245" (1.235" is recommended by National Bullet Company) . Does a longer OAL matter in 45 ACP as I have read it can with rifle or was this a fluke.
Thanks

Bill, the bullet manufacturer will give you a recommended AOL so their product will have a better cahnce of functioning (safely) in a wide variety of brands and types of firearms.
Yes, AOL matters in a .45 if you're going to fine tune a load for a particular pistol. My rule of thumb is to run the AOL out in length and still retain function and accuracy
