This started as more of an academic question - I'm currenly loading at 1.265".
This is actually a follow on to the detonation topic. One of the theories I read was that a small amount of powder in a case would cause the powder to lay along the length of the case, allowing the primer to flash over all of it causing detonation rather than burning. Pondering this, I looked at the load charts in my Lee Handbook (BTW - this book has the most complete load data I've ever found in one spot) and noticed that the min OAL varies from 1.190" to 1.270" for .45ACP (across the various bullet sizes and powders). This got my tiny little brain thinking "are they taking some of this into account?"
Now - back to the dungeon! I've got a holster to sew...
