Hello everyone! I've been working on some 45 ACP loads and ran into some failure to fire issues. It was an issue with the bullet seating depth, just a few thousandths off.
My question is if there is a better way to determine the proper seating depth for an arbitrary bullet for semiautomatic cartridges to prevent primer detonation failures than trial and error and educated guessing. Yes I do know that the 'proper' depth for this may conflict with cartridge feeding with some gun/projectile combinations. I'm just worried about the primer strikes in this case.
Just to take care of some other sort-of-on-topic replies, I do trim and prep my brass, I do know what seating depth is, I do know seating depth will be different for various projectiles, and I do currently have a working safe loading.
