I've been thinking about a new load for my Ruger Super Redhawk.
I've been using Hornady's 200 gr. XTP with H110. Well today I bought some Hornady 240 gr. XTP's and some 300 gr. XTP's. The 240's are pretty straight forword but the 300 is what I have a question on.
The 300 gr bullets have two crimp groves, one of the groves gives the c.o.l. 1.60 which is the same as the 200 and 240.
If you crimp to the lower grove the c.o.l. is about 1.75 .
The cyl. on my Ruger is 1.78ish is this a problem ? My other question is if I crimp on the lower grove will it raise pressures and why is there no
data for the longer c.o.l?
