Using Hogdon's data, a 38 spl load with a 125 gr jacketed XTP bullet should have a minimum COL of 1.455. But using an FP/XTP, it leaves too much cannelure exposed. Crimping at the forward end of the cannelure yields a length of 1.452. Well. Anyone have any experience with this bullet? Think I can come in .003 under the the COL and still have an acceptable pressure? This is the sort of stuff that drives me nuts since I tend to overthink things.
