![]() I didn't include any numbers since I only load for my 45.īest thing you could do is load up a bunch of dummy rounds and cycle them by hand. When loaded longer the Xtreme's jam the shoulders into the rifling so I have to load them very short. ![]() What OAL works for one will not work for the other. Some like Xtreme's for my 45 have very short tapered front sections while some Hornadys I have are much longer in the tapered section of the bullet. But I have run rounds across the chrono and the FP's loaded this way duplicated the data I got from the RN's as the case volume for the powder was exactly the same.Īnd you need to realize not all FP's are created equal. But you have to know the exact length of the RN and do the math first. So provided you are using the same bullet material (lead, plated or fmj) loading a FP (yes some makers do call them flat points) to an OAL that is less than RN data by the amount of the difference in length of the bullet is perfectly OK. And as you know this is determined by the OAL and the length of the bullet itself, so to use the data from a RN you need the length of just the bullet The important thing is just how big the volume is inside the loaded case. Provided the loaded cartridge will feed, chamber and cycle in your gun it doesn't care how long or short it is. This is exactly why I get ticked at the load manuals when they do not include actual length of just the bullet.
