I'm having some trouble loading Oregon Trail's 124grain laser-cast lead round nosed 9mm bullets. The load im trying came from Alliants website.

It shows 4.9gr Bullseye for a lead 124 grain bullet with a minimum OAL of 1.15. I started off with 4.7gr Bullseye and the 1.15 OAL but the bullets would go to far into the rifling that the slide would jam forward you you would have to use a rubber mallet or shoot the cartridge to eject the case.
I then tried turned them down to 1.10 OAL where they would hand cycle threw my Taurus PT92 but still got stuck in my glock19 with a LongeWolf match grade stainless barrel. I would like to turn them down to 1.00 to get them to work in my glock but am afraid of over pressure as Oregon Trail said the OAL for the 124 LRN was 1.13 but they didn't say if it was minimum or maximum OAL.
I only have 250 loaded up out of 500 and would like to be sure that 1.10 OAL isn't to short. These must be some really long bullets. The Winchester or Remingon/UMC FMJ RN factory ammo i have measures 1.16oal. I don't think i will take them any shorter because i don't want to shoot lead threw my glock or berettas anyways unless i mold them myself.
