Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for input on OAL for Montana Gold 200gr JFP bullets in a .45 ACP. I shoot a Springfield XD45 4" and, after many failed attempts, found these bullets to feed nice and smoothly. My initial testing was with 1.185", which I found simply by incrementally seating it deeper until it dropped into the removed barrel smoothly.
Does this sound like a reasonable way to determine OAL on my gun? With 5.0 and 5.2 gr of Unique, it wouldn't consistently eject - 5.4 gr ejected perfectly. I've now got a box of 1000 of these and a few hundred brass to load up for USPSA shooting and wanted to get some input before I crank them out.
Thanks!
John
