COAL for 45acp 200gr FMJ RN

itlother · April 5, 2009, 02:44 PM

I have .451" jacketed round nose 200gr bullets and looking for cartridge overall length for this configuration. Neither of my reloading books has any data specific to it, but I do see that (fmj) 200gr flat nose is 1.20" whereas 230gr round nose is 1.26". Which should I go with?

Thanks in advance

I do my round nose .45's at 1.25". Feed great, no probs.

I dont care, no need to messure as long as they fit in the Mag and dont hang up while chambering. I take the two above into account then adjust a bit to see what's most accurate in my gun.
