Decided to load up some 9mm this afternoon. First time seating xtreme flat points, as I've always used the round nose.
Loading manual says oal should be 1.070".
Strange thing is that when I seat the bullet, without adjusting the die at all, I get between 1.080" and 1.050".
Using round nose bullets, the oal has always been dead on.
Is there a reason for this, and more importantly, is 1.050" oal ok?
Bullets plunk fine at 1.070" in the shield.
