I have a pretty much a full box of Xtreme 125gn hollow point plated 38's that mic out around 0.3565
Not a good match for my model 19 (it's happy with cast sized to .359) so I thought I would use it as range fodder in 9mm.
Looked up Win 231 load data for a 125g lead and got an OAL of 1.125 which puts the bullet well into the lands. I had to reduce the length to 1.040 to get it off the lands and that put the case mouth right at the cannelure. At this length the bullet is seated 0.225 into the case.
Am I looking for trouble or is this doable?
