I've been loading Acme 115 gn coated RN bullets with 6 gn of BE-86 at 1.127 COAL for about a year. I decided to try some Acme 124 gn RN bullets instead and the dummy round needs to get down to 1.103 before it will pass the plunk test in my two CZ barrels. The Acme 124 gn has a rounder, less pointy tip than the 115 gn bullet so it makes sense that it needs to be shorter but I just want to make sure I'm not too short. I plan to run 5.1 gn of BE-86.
Any potential problems with that? Is there an absolute minimum that you should never go under?
