Hey guys,
I'm loading .45 with Tightgroup.
Anyone know the min. and max OAL for 230gr FMJ round nose round.

Thanks

Max is 1.27.

I like to seat at 1.26.

TiteGroup shoots good, I like cast 200 gr SWC's.

I seat at 1.260 for Montana Gold 230gr CMJ. I have loaded shorter for SWC.

I use a factory round to adjust my seater die. Insert factory round, screw down seater die till it stops seating, then BAM! Seating depth set.

Don't load too short or you can end up like me with feeding problems in your 1911.

1.235" is too short for my gun.

1.250 is the standard 230gr ball length.

I seat 230gn Precision Delta FMJ's to 1.250". Will shoot in any one of several 1911's we have as well as my P-14 Para that is very finicky on OAL's.

I use 4.7gn of Titegroup with this load for a near factory duplicate round.

Who has a good load for Titegroup with.45 ACP 200 gr cast SWC?

I was using 4.3gn with a Precision Delta 200gn SWC. Ran fine with standard recoil spring.
