[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 968801, member: 796"] The latter measurement is the important one in seating cases. It is a common mistake to take an overall length for one bullet and slavishly apply it to another bullet, because of this exact problem. The length from the base to the ogive must not be too long to fit into the chamber. Strongly suggest getting a drop-in cartridge gage to make your cartridges within SAAMI specs. As to pressure, yes, you need to consider it, but I can't guess without very specific information whether you will still be safe. Generally loading data is for a specific bullet, specific powder, specific amount, and a minimum OAL. Change any of these and the pressure changes. "Glocked" cases are rare in .45 ACP, which operates at about half the pressure of a .40. [/QUOTE]
