Hey gang, getting ready to do my first reloads.
I have an XD45 and will be using 8.5gr of AA-No.5 Velocity should be at about 800 with an OAL of 1.270 for 230gr RN bullets. This is mid-range for the bullets/powder I'm using.
I've read that XD's are a bit temperamental when it comes to OAL with some people running into problems at around the 1.260" range and some at even lower lengths. I want to run my OAL at about 1.255 - 1.260". Will this have an adverse affect on my pressures? Or am I correct in thinking that since I'm nowhere near max load that I should be fine?
