I was going to order some more 9mm 124gr round nose from xtreme with the 10% off
I have done a load development with tightgroup and the recommended OAL (can recall what it is right now). 3.6gr in my shield cycles reliably.
If I switch to the flat point, I assume since the weight of the bullet and bearing surface is the same, I can use the same powder charge, but what about OAL? obviously the length of the bullet itself is shorted than a round nose, so that would lead me to believe that the OAL needs to be longer to have the same volume inside the case.
Sorry for the NOOB question. Thanks in advance.
