Was going over my numbers, data and loads today, just to kill some time..........
Plated OAL with a few companies call for 1.14" with the 115gr and the 124 RN runs around 1.16".
I measured the maximum oal of 1.169" with the .59" length 124 RN and found out that the bullet sat inside the case at 29% of its total length.
I then took the 115gr RN and set it at 1.14" oal and did a little math. Guess what figure popped up? Its a tuff question, I know, but we just got to do these things to clear the air, to make things safe.
BINGO !! base of bullet seated into the case was.........
29%
Some of the factory "FMJ" type loads have 33 to 37% of the bullet seated inside the case and some even add a sealer!
OK, it is time for recess...go play.
