Burt. Checking my Lee manual it gives a Min OAL for the 230gr jacketed at anywhere between 1.190 and 1.260. Depending on the powder and charge weight. And this the Min OAL with max loads. I have a few White boxes of Winchester 230gr.FMJ Target/Range loads and after checking 5 they average around 1.265. After checking 10 they averaged 1.264. Over the 10 there was a difference of around 10ths.,from shortest to longest, which is about 3 times the thickness of a sheet of paper or less depending on the paper of course. Nothing to really worry about for close quarter handgun use. I think you will be safe seating deeper to correct your problem depending on your powder and charge weight. Of course if anything goes wrong, you didn't hear this from me.
You did not state what powder or charge you are using.
