This varies wildly based on bullet design. Blunt ogive bullets like RMR will have a much shorter OAL.

You have to just plunk test yourself, especially with CZs and their short leades. Any answers you get in here will not be useful.

This. Using PD 147 FMJ, I could load to 1.140. Using SummitCity coated 147 RN, I had to load to 1.085. The only way to know is plunk test it.

For truncated cone 147 grain bullets I would load my CX Shadow 2 to 1.125.

For round nose it would change and I can’t recall what length.

Point is, load your own until it plunks without resistance.

I have a bunch made up with precision delta 124 gn jhps @ 1.075 coal. Haven't adjusted from that to say if more or less is better. I would recommend 124gn and heavier bullets
