Learning as I go…..
I got the idea to measure the factory made \”law enforcement\” HP\’s that I bought 10 years ago and they
measure out at an OAL of 1.1.20\” ( Mine are at 1.1.55\” – 1.1.160\” and not feeding)
Using the 2nd edition of Modern Reloading by Richard Lee
They list a min 1.145 OAL for 124 gn jacketed
But then I started to notice that with the same powder
that they list a min 1.050\” for lead and that 5gns is the max suggested load.
124 gn plated has 1.060\” listed as the minimum OAL and 5gn is a midsize load for this bullet.
This extra data has opened my mind to the possibility that I have a great deal of latitude in OAL to try and get this particular pill
to cycle with the G26.
Too tired today and it is raining, but I plan on getting this figured out one way or another in the net few days.
Thanks for all of the input.
If I get it to work I am going to post what worked in the review for this bullet.
