[QUOTE="Jcelt, post: 3412897, member: 45313"] My mistake, I did leave out the 7. I shouldn’t watch westerns and try to type at the same time. I don’t think I’m doing a good job of explaining my question. I have posted a photo of the factory bullet and my bullet. They are almost identical with the factory bullet being a few thousandth longer. I posted a picture of the factory round in my calipers. I posted a picture of the lee reloading data which shows minimum OAL of 2.20 (and started all my concerns and questions). I have always followed loading data faithfully. I have a lot of brass, including what I have shot that measures less than my trimming length of 1.754. If I load these they will be substantially shorter than the recommended minimum OAL but about the same length of my factory rounds. I know I am missing something here and it’s probably simple but i can’t get my head around it. I wouldn’t normally ignore loading data but when I measured my factory round it didn’t make any sense to me of why the difference, especially If I reload to the same length as the factory round( of course I don’t know what powder they are using). Thanks for all the replies and your patience. I have loaded tons of pistol calibers but this has been a Challenge for me. [/QUOTE]
