Having read a couple years' posts, and many manuals, on OAL, I'm confused.
124 gr recommendations run from 1.075 to 1.160, and 147 gr from 1.058 to 1.165. They seem to be in two groups, one centering on 1.090 - 1.095 (HP, FP?), another around 1.140 - 1.150 (RN?). New and remanufactured rounds run from 1.050 (124 FP) to 1.130 (Rem 124 GoldDot). Middle of the road seems to be 1.112 - 1.120.
I want to load Berry RNs in both weights. SUGGESTED OAL?
(BTW, the 124 gr runs 0.580, the 147 gr 0.670)
Second question is powder - W231, Unique, Universal, TiteGroup and Power Pistol seem to be most frequent non-VV recommendations. YOURS? TNX!
