chadxr650 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 What's the maximum overall length I can run in 625 .45 acp? Is 1.285 to long it looks fine not even close to the barrel my crimp is .468 and I'm using 4.7grns VIHTAVUORI N310. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJones Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) I dunno, I shoot the same loads that I feed my single stack. 230 grain lead at 1.250. Revolvers work as an inertial bullet puller, I don't think I'd want less bullet in the case. Why are you thinking longer?

chadxr650 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Well I shoot 200gr sw in my 1911 and basically I'm trying to see if I just keep that same set up can I just change the bullet vs changing my entire set up since I don't shoot revo that much.

Alaskan454 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I would say you are likely okay on length, I have run 255gr bullets seated out to about the same in the past. If your neck tension is good enough to keep them in place I don't see any problems but you should take one round and keep it in the gun to see how many times it can be fired before jumping crimp. Generally I like a bullet to last 12+ times or else it can be very frustrating to deal with a loaded and jammed revolver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsg Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I agree that the neck tension on the bullet will be the deciding factor. If the bullets stay in the case through 10 or 12 recoil cycles, there should be no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadxr650 Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Well I decided to just go with the 1.255 overall length and run 3.9grns of n310 seems there just isn't any safe information about trying this method. I basically was curious if I could load two different types of bullets 1. 200 grn SWC and 2. 230 grn ball so I didn't have to change my setup for my revo from my single stack since I only plan on shooting about 1500 to 2000 rds of revo and very random times so what I'm going to do next since I loaded 500 rds of 230 now is try running a 200grn swc and a 200grn ball and see if I can get a equal oal and not have to change my seat on them. Thanks Edited March 8, 2016 by chadxr650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJones Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) I don't care to have 2 different 45 loads around the house. I've settled on 230 RN for all my 45 needs, single stack and Revo. The 200 grain RN bullets out there make me curious, but if it ain't broke..... Edited March 8, 2016 by PatJones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadxr650 Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 I'm definitely having a struggle with this right now I agree two different loads just means more work so I'm hoping those 200grn round nose solve half my problem I just love those 200grn swc holes in my single stack they have definitely helped me get some extra A hits time and time again and scoring is not a problem!

PatJones Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 With proper overlay use, it shouldn't make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not exactly great information for folks shooting a .451 barrel. There can be pressure issues. I've been to matches where idiots have blown up Glocks playing with Long Colt bullets. One the guy was okay but shaken up, the other sustained cuts to his hands. Just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bring up a good point however, I've got 45 cal revolvers with grooves running from .4505-.453 via micrometer. It always pays to slug your barrel and use the correct bullet size.
