Maybe I haven't run any 124gn through a P-08 yet!
COL is dependent on the nose (ogive) length of the particular SWC, since in most cases you want the shoulder to just touch the lede/rifling/lands, so you need to always determine it for the individual chamber.
I just don't know. With good cast bullets, I get groups of 1-3" at 25 yards. With good jacketed bullets, I get groups of 1-3" at 25 yards. With the plated bullets I have bought to date, I get groups of 2-12" at 25 yards. Thus, I just don't have much faith in plated to do much more than put a hole in the paper.
Hi,

Thanks for the above information!

By the way, at such short O.A.L.s, are you shooting with full, 8 round magazines?

Here is a good cast lead bullet for you in 124 gr. It's the RCBS 09-124-CN. It is a 124 grain, conical, flat point, that, when loaded to the original DWM O.A.L. of 29 mm (1.14 inches), just kisses the rifling. It feeds and functions with a full 8 round magazine, perfectly, and is highly accurate, .5 to 1.0 inches, at 25 yards, with Accurate #5 powder (start at 5.0 grs and work up to about 5.5, or so).
