Factory OAL? 9mm Gold Dot 124

[Stone Cold]

I'm working with the Speer Gold Dot. My 1911 will take a pretty long OAL with every bullet I've tried. For reference, I was wondering what the OAL of the factory ammo is. Anyone have a resource for this information or a box of Gold Dot 124 grainers and a caliper?

Mr Cold -
Friend, if you intend to load specialty bullets, then you need to buy the manufacturers book. In this case the Speer reloading manual.

I'd like to help you over your rough spot, but you haven't told us if your 1911 is using those 124gr to load 9x19, 9x21, 9x23, 9x25, or 38 Super. If I make a wild assumption of 9x19, then that'd be 1.120".

Oal in Speer's 13th is the same as in Alliant's Reloader's Guide (available on-line). The overall length of the Speer 124 9MM Gold Dot is 1.120".
Alliant and Speer owned by the same company, ATK .

The actual factory ammo mikes 1.120"
