bullet seating depth question

[Doc Jackson]

I just got a conversion cylinder in .45 colt from Taylors for my NMA. Im trying to use up a bunch of 175 gr SWC bulets that I have on hand before getting more bullets. The depth that I normally seat the bullets works fine for my new service, the flat portion of the SWC is flush with the case mouth. If I want to use these bullets for the NMA I'd need to seat the bullet so the flat of the SWC is slightly below the case mouth 1/32 of an inch or so. By the flat I mean the flat section that goes from .452 to the SWC pointed part.

My question is is this ok to do? I hope that I was clear enough.

Sure, but keep in mind that if you are using smokeless you will be raising the pressure some by less internal case volume.  Probably not much.

[Doc Jackson]

Thanks Abilene, Im using black powder, so it should be good to go?

[Galloway]

Yep you'll be fine. Thats a weird load load though lol!

Howdy, Doc Jackson. If you are using the Holy Black check in at the Darksider's Den.

I agree. You are GTG. What lube are you using. For your next purchase of bullets, make sure they are either lubed with a BP compatible lube, like SPG, or bare so you can lube them yourself.

Light bullets are OK, if they give good results, but unusual as galloway said.

[Doc Jackson]

Im using SPG to lube them. It is an unusual bullet to use, a friend gave me 250 or so last year. I want to use them up before I get more. Im probably getting 230gr LRN for the rest of my loads, or I might just buy a mold, Ive been casting round balls for a year now with good results.

Not too weird my revolver load is 1.3 c/c FFg and a 175 grain BL bullet in a .45 CA case. Easy on my arthritic wrists but trust me on this you would not want to get shot with it. Pretty close to the original .44 Henry flat load. One day I might get energetic enough and chrono this load and the 200 grain BL bullet rifle load using FFFg powder.
