I've been reading on this issue and cant find a clear answer.
Accepted OAL on .357 is around 1.058 and 1.059 in every book I have.
I loaded some 158 grain sjsp and seated the bullets to a length of 1.058 and some change.
But...the bullet is just barely shy of being seated in the cannalure. I read some opinions that say seat in the cannalure no matter what and some that say go with the OAL and ignore the cannalure, just crimp lighter.
As I'm typing this in realizing the OAL in the book shows a rounded tip bullet.and these of course being flat like a semi wadcutter....of course they are shorter overall length. Right?
Damn. Are these going to shoot ok? This is what happens when you give up a hobby for 9 years.
