Are there dangers in shooting bullets that are under "normal" OAL?
I've loaded 198gr .323 gc for the .32 Special. (The bullets are likely more suited to a .32-40 cartridge--shorter nose than most .32WS slugs.) The OAL of these cartridges is 2.384 which seems well under the 2.565 shown in my manuals. Problems? Dangers?
A load of 28.8 gr H4895 is accurate out of our Winchesters.
