I've just made my first 9mm boolits!
I have a few more questions:
The length is shorter than the my factory rounds (my cast boolits are 125gr and the factory are 115gr)
1) I put 5gr of green dot in them. When I seat the boolits they are surely compacting the powder somewhat. Is that normal?
2) The OAL of my cast boolits if I sink all of the lubed ridges is 1.118"
The OAL of the factory rounds is 1.160. These are both well below the max OAL (1.169). My concern is that i may be compressing the powder too much. If so, is it ok to have some of the lube bands above brass?
