Are there standard max seating depths for .38 Special, .357 Magnum and .45 ACP?
Given those standards, can one load those calibers with data and disregard bullet type, i.e. lead round nose, lead semi-wadcutter, FMJ, plated and or jacketed as long as one observes the seating depth standard?
I am tired of hunting down load data for specific bullet types, if this is a safe practice (don't see why it wouldn't be for a non-cupped base bullet), I'll just measure seating depth myself.
Please confirm or explain the error of my logic.
Thanks,
