Question for the knowledge base
First: I have a Kimber CDP 9mm, with JHPs it is the tightest (shortest) chamber I have, meaning for RMR (and other) JHPs I have to load under 1.1 COL in order to plunk and rotate. COL is not really the issue as Lyman shows COL (OAL) at 1.060 and I can get free rotation at just below 1.1.
My question is, in this situation would you
1. Load everything to 1.060 (lyman number)
2. Load or everything to 1.095 to fit your tightest chamber
3. Load specifically for each gun, i.e. 1.095 for the Kimber, 1.125 for the Ruger etc.
My fear in #3 is accidently dropping a 1.12 in the Kimber it's going to jam in the rifling and could cause a pressure spike.
Thoughts?
