Help For A New Reloader-OAL

I've only recently started handloading. I'm looking for the suggested OAL for a Nosler #44964 230gr .45ACP FMJ flat nose bullet. I've been loading Winchester 230gr FMJ round nose with an OAL of between 1.260" and 1.275" depending on which manual you consult. I may not be looking close enough but I'm not finding any information on any 230gr FMJ flat nose bullets. Been using 5.2gr Win231 for my reloads which I'm sure (correct me if I'm wrong) is adequate for a powder charge. Any help would be appreciated.

Seat 'em deep enough that they fit in the mag and pass the plunk test. Start at the suggested starting load of your round nosed and go from there.

sudo passwd root
