OK I am a newbie, trying to follow data to the word and getting problems right and left.
I bought .44 bullets from Missouri Bullet Co.
They were #13 Cowboy Lead. After I started seating the 1st one I realized if I seated to the lowest part of the cannelure I was not going to get to the min .44 spl COL data of 1.450" thats according to my Lee die booklet.
I could only get to 1.4450" which is quite a bit less. I sent a email to Missouri Bullet Co but didnt get a reply yet.
Below is the email I sent to Missouri Bullet just in case I missed something.
Hey Brad,
Thanks for the reply.
I have one more question, when I seat your bullet in a .44 spl Winchester case, the minimum COL according to my Lee die set loading data is minimum of 1.450" ( Max 1.550" ) but if I seat your bullet to barely get the case to your cannelure to factory crimp it, I end up with 1.4450" which is quite a bit shorter than the minimal COL.
I am worried about the pressure in a shorter COL and am a newbie running into loading problems every time I get out of bed.
Usually they are false alarms, I am hoping this is also nothing to be worried about.
What say you?
Jerry
