For what it's worth, I usually load my mid-range 45 ammo to a O.A.L. or 1.260".
I have found over that if you go with published SAAMI lengths (usually around 1.270" ) that the rounds hang up in the magazines and I got a lot of FTF and such.
Of course, these lengths are for 230gr. ball, naturally, when I load 200gr SWC bullets they are a lot shorter.
I mostly shoot 230gr. ball, so the numbers (1.260") stick out in my mind very well.
