Just now starting to reload and purchased the Hornady LHBWC in 148 grain with 3.0 grains of WW231 as a starting charge weight and WW small pistol magnum primers with Starline 357 brass. The Winchester loading data advises a trim case length of 1.285" and a COL of 1.290". It appears that the bullet is to be seated flush with the case mouth. I was reading in my Lyman reloading manual that you should never crimp without crimping into a cannelure. Should the roll crimp be a slight crimp just over the flush seated bullet?
My revolver is a Smith &Wesson model 686 Powerport 357 L frame with a 6" barrel.
Any advise woulf be appreciated.
