Regarding Hornady 185 gr XTP in .45 ACP…
My copy of The Complete Reloading Manual has data from Hornady that lists OAL for this bullet at 1.213”. I loaded 3 five shot strings with Bullseye for chronograph testing using this data, but haven’t fired them yet.
I have since found the most recent Hornady data, and it lists the OAL for this bullet at 1.245”.
I really don’t want to break down 15 rounds if I can help it, but I don’t want to spend the rest of my life answering to “Lefty” either.
Is the .032” discrepancy a cause for concern?
