the overall length for that bullet in 45 acp is 1.120" according to the Lyman cast bullet handbook. You should be OK with load.

I've loaded 3.5grs of Bullseye under that Bullet for years.
Will have to switch to Titegroup after I run out of Bullseye.
So I'm very interested in your results.
Which may be awhile since I get 2,000 loads to the pound.

Good luck. That load may shoot a bit low in a fixed-sight Stock Pistol.

I have the 452460 thats seated short like that. Ugly as sin I think but shoots good.

which lyman book is that the 3 or 4

[onelight]

It's in my Lyman Cast. Bullet Handbook dated. 1973 and also my Lyman Reloading Handbook 46th edition,
But not in my 45th edition. Those are the only 3 I have.

My Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook, 3rd Edition shows OAL as 1.120" for that bullet (my 4th Edition is out in the shop)...
