    If the cartridge is jamming at the top of the barrel/barrel hood, that usually means the COL is too short. Likewise, if the cartridge jams on the feed ramp, that usually means the COL is too long....

    Just for those who don't know:

    Your COL (Cartridge Overall Length) is determined by;
    your barrel (chamber and throat dimensions)
    and
    your gun (feed ramp)
    and
    your magazine (COL that fits...

    I find that best accuracy with semi-autos, that head space on the case mouth, comes from the longest cases. Thus, for 9x19, I set aside the few longer cases just for match loads. .45 Auto doesn't...

    Bills1873: can't argue with your findings, just that I haven't found that true for my .38 Spl, .357 Mag, and .44 Rem Mag. No case length growth over time--in fact, just like my auto cases, they tend...

    I think you might have meant jacketed, and not specifically FMJ.
    For me, the most accurate bullets are L-HBWCs in .38 Spl.--particularly Remington L-HBWC.
    Next are JHPs and my own cast L-SWCs....

    Any case that head spaces on the case mouth, like the .45 Auto, needs to be long enough to minimize head space. Increasing head space by trimming the case will decrease accuracy.
