Decreased OAL with the bullet seating die, recrimped, and everything worked out good. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try it and let you know how it turns out.

I have a question for the experienced reloaders out there...

I have started to load some for my Taurus 1911, and I loaded several 230 JHP rounds to an OAL of 1.260. The loading data I have shows a min OAL of 1.200 and a max OAL of 1.275. The rounds I loaded to 1.260 will not feed properly in my magazines, so I need to have a shorter OAL. I'm using Lee equipment and used the factory crimp die after I seated the bullets. My question is......is it okay to shorten the OAL on the loaded rounds using the bullet seating die? If so, should I run them through the factory crimp die again after the adjustment?

Thanks in advance!
