Reloader Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I am loading some new rounds for my 1911 with 185 grain Hornady XTP bullets. I started loading them to the same OAL as the 230 grain ball factory ammo I have. The seating depth feels secure, but obviously it isn't as deep as the 230s. Any advice on which I should go by? If you have an opinion I'd like to hear the why, even if its just 'cause your dad or whoever you trust taught you to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangunnr Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 In any auto the only thing you really need to be concerned with is if the round will feed everytime. Seating depth will vary with different guns. You likely can't go with the same overall length as a ball round as the hollow point bullet is basically a flat point so the bullet would have to be seated out quite abit further to acheive the same OA length. I would hazard a guess you'll have feeding issues with these seated out that far. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
