Yes, I am sure this has been beaten to death but please bare with me. I stayed awake all night pondering this Searching MBC and 45 ACP just makes my computer melt.
I have loaded boatloads of these and just wondering what OAL you are using.
The main gist of my question is how much of the driving band if any do you leave exposed? Does leaving some help in feeding the round? Why not just seat to the edge of the driving band?
Yes, I have done the plunk and drop and roll test.
Trying to finally arrive at a one size fits all for 1911 and non 1911, 45 pistols, not a different OAL for every 45 pistola.
I have loaded 1.250, 1.260 and others.
Speer lists 1.270
Hornady 1.245
Lyman 1.272
Hodgdon 1.200
True they are not the same bullet, but I need order in my life
Thanks
