    Plated Bullets

    Got a question: I am reloading 115gr. Plated bullets, 9mm, specs call for 1.110 col, They seem to be rather short, what is the harm in setting them to 1.125?

    No issue at all seating a little longer if you like.

    As long as it fits your mag, you should be OK.

    Thank you Wes, I thought it would probably be ok, but then again I started thinking about pressures!

    It is true pressure will increase if you seat bullets deeper than tested, and confine powder to a smaller space. Seating bullets shallower will allow more space thus decreasing pressure. So unless you are loading a extremely light charge you will be fine.
