Most of my reloading is mimicking the Factory ammo(124 XTP +P)I use in my "carry" pistol, and I just load to the same length as the Factory stuff, or just a tad longer.
Mostly just curious.
A factory oal is useless unless the bullets are the same.
You load long to lower pressures, maybe helps feeding, maybe more accurate.
