I recently acquired at little cost some 200gr LSWCs. My usual lead round in my .45 is a LRN, that I seat the same as a JRN. I have read some posts about loading LSWCs and I am confused as to how deep to seat this bullet. I know that the entire lube ring is under the case, but how much farther? Some have said that there should be a fingernails width above the case mouth, but this doesnt seem an accurate way of measuring it. I loaded up 10test rounds, with an COAL of 1.245. This was loaded on top of 4.4gr 700x and a Win LP primer. They cycled fine and all went bang, I didnt test for accuracy, just function. None of the recovered cases seems to show any signs of overpressure. I just want to make sure that I have this right, you know? Does anyone have a picture of a LSWC seated into a .45acp case? Just somthing I could compare to?
