Hey all..I'm a first time loader working up some 9mm. I've created a couple dummy rounds to test..they headspace perfectly and cycle fine. I'm using 147gr plated round nose bullets, but my manual (Lyman) lists flat nose lead, and FMJ loads. The FMJ load lists OAL at 1.115", while the flat nose lead is 1.089". I'm loading these with charges from the lead bullet column, but OAL at 1.115 because it's a round nose bullet...is this correct thinking? Want to load on the safe side.
Thanks!
Thanks!
