Hi All, Hope this is close to where I should ask this question, so here goes...
Does anyone have a Hornady book for loading the FMJ-soft tipped (orange plastic tipped)
FTX handgun bullet? ( I have never loaded a plastic tipped bullet, so need to know plz)
I have and am loading a FTX 200gn bullet in .45ACP LPP brass, over 7.0gn VV 3N37
and COL is someplace in Cannula But lots of it to stop in?
what does Hornady say for a COL for this bullet?
and do you measure from the top of highest part of HP? ( plastic squeezes so has to be)
I was trying to load some close to OEM shells for my Colt and sorta got me stoped here
I also wanted to record and save this load for later so I can re-make it or re-work it later if i wanted to so any thing you can give would help
I know its some place in the Cannula but its an 1/8" wide! that's a lot of Maybe space for me...
I am Hitting like 1.255 Range? and I "Think" I can use that but someplace theirs the right way and thats what I hope for..
Thanks for any and All Help

( I need to load about 25 of the Hornady so I can get back to my Cast loading, haha)
