I'm ready to start reloading 32 ACP, and thought I'd start with a few dummy rounds. I'm concerned with how little of the bullet is seated into the case.
case length: .676"
bullet length: .422" (Berry's 71gr PRN)
According to my rifmatik:
.118" of bullet in case with .980" OAL
.128" of bullet in case with .970" OAL
I'm thinking about going with .970" max. The brass came from Fiocchi 73gr FMJ which had an average OAL of .971".
Will .128" be enough bullet in the case?
