In the past I have loaded Berry's 200gr SWC .45 ACP per Hodgdon's powders, at OAL of 1.225. However, in researching the lengths prescribed by other sources 1.225 seems long.
Lyman's #452630 (#2 alloy) 1.235
#452460 (#2 Alloy) 1.161
Hornady #12108 SWC 1.200
#12208 L-CT 1.200
Sierra #8825 FPJ 1.155
Speer #4677 JHP 1.185
#4475 TMJ 1.275
#4478 GD_HP 1.200
Hodgdon's 200 gr LSWC 1.225
Accurate 200 gr LSWC 1.190
With such a variety how do you select the appropriate length?
