Any thoughts on a good OAL that could work with a wide range of 9mm pistols? The bullets I?m setting up for now are pretty standard 115Gr. Copper Plated Round Nose. I don?t recall the bullet manufacture, but look very similar a Speer or Barry?s round nose bullet

very interesting chart, The Shadow! where did it come from? I haven't seen it in any of my loading manuals.

You're welcome Ken
Some were from Midway Load books with the COL.  The others were saved from the old 38Super net that has gone away!

Afternoon, I contact Missouri Bullet Company regarding the below bullets recommended OAL, and they suggested I check the High Road forum, well, I was unable to find any searchable threads, Lol. Have any of you used this particular bullet design from Missouri Bullet Company? And if not, I?ll just start with a known / working OAL and test them out from there, Also, I will be using BE-86 for this batch

Was just thinking about this, is it possible to calculate your approximate OAL for a given bullet size, E.g. Missouri Bullet Company OAL .591 +/- ?
Thanks
