Hey guys
I am fairly new to reloading ,let's see if you can help
I am loading 357 mag with 158 grain Hornady bullets using 2400 powder
I am working up a load and starting with the minimum
I have trimmed the cases at 1.580 per the manual
The show a coal of 1.590
When I seat the bullets it's to the shown coal I am not really seated to what looks correct in the cannelure
I have attached a pic of a seated bullet to 1.571 and it looks like I can crimp properly in the cannelure
I guess my question is , if I am starting with a shorter coal than the manual am I ok working up this load
It almost looks to me like I really need to seat a little farther
Thanks for any help
