maybe I'm just to paronoid but why take a chance right ? Here's my problem.
I have some lead 200 gn .45 acp SWC and lead rnfp colts, Now reading my reloading manual I can find recipes for brand name bullets, only lead or jacketed, nothing in the book shows a differnce for swc, rn, fp's ect, What I'm wondering is...
Some of the differnt bullets have differnt lentgh's from the bottom of the bullet to the shoulder or where it would stop just above the brass when installed, so two differnt bullets will have a different length seated into the case, that would make the volume of the case smaller which if using the smae amount of powder could cause higher pressures (correct?), I can't seem to find any data explaining how much powder difference I should use say with a bullet that will seat further into the case, I have a diffence on these rnds about .102 of seat depth, just for giggles in case I'm not explaining this good, I posted a pic to my web site. http://www.bikershut.com/gun/bullets.jpg
Thanks
