Just recieved my 9mm TCN bullets from Mike@mastercastbullets.com and they look great.
Can anyone give me an OAL I should seat the bullet at? I am seating to a depth of 1.11, that just touches the lands in a CZ 75B, is this correct?
Thanks, Floyd

There is no absolute standard for overall length. The bullet manufacturers and your reloading manuals will typically suggest a number, but what your gun requires with the caliber in question is uniquelly different.
My experience has been that the truncated cone will feed well in just about any gun. The biggest issue is not seating them too deep and running your pressures up.

Grandpa,
The actual lenght is 1.119, any longer and the action will not close, so I'll just call it 1.12.
Yes, my main concern was building up too much pressure with the bullet seated so far in the case.
All my other lenghts have been 1.16
with jacketed and plated bullets.
I was going to start out with around 4.0 gr. Bullseye, do you think this is enough to cycle the action?
Thanks for any input, Floyd
