gunner500 Campfire 'Bwana G Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 46,238 Oklahoma	Originally Posted by Gibby Originally Posted by gunner500 I've had really good luck starting, and in most cases finishing with a col of 1.230" in many 45 ACP's, 1911's as well as Glocks firing HP's and FMJ's. This is my general target OAL on a new load also. Work's 95% of the time. Also, a Lee factory taper crimp die is a wise investment. Read the instructions carefully. You bet Gibby, I can go from mild to wild with Power Pistol and Longshot powders too. Trump Won!
