Wanted to reach out for measurement info if anyone can help out.
I am loading .45 ACP for the first time and setting up new Dillon dies in my Dillon RL 550B press now. The bullet I am using is RMR 230 gr Hardcore Match round nose. Can anyone tell me the COAL measurement so I know how deeply to seat this bullet for starters? Of course I will only load a handful to plunk test and cycle test by live firing my Glock before moving into a bigger load run. I can always adjust the COAL as a fine tune, but just wanted a ballpark seating depth to get started.
Also, any idea what my crimp diameter should be? I know to leave a tiny shoulder on my taper crimp for proper operation and to keep from digging into the plating.
Thanks for any info you can share.
