Seating depth for a 9mm FMJ
Loaded up some Hornady 125gr FMJ and OAL is 1.16. case are .748 long.
What length do you use for this type of bullet? Having an occasional chambering issue.
load data for a Sierra bullet is OAL 1.09
For a Hornady it 1.16
I don't see any problems loading to 1.12"
What are your thoughts.

Seat it so that your pistol functions.

Seat so they move up and down in the magazine properly.

Seating to deeply can raise pressures.
