I have some Berry's plated round nose 158 grain .357 bullets that I was trying to load for .357 magnums.
I used the Alliant recommended 6.0 grains of Unique, CCI 500 SPP's, and an OAL of 1.570.
Using that OAL results in the bullets seating so far into the case that they seem to be at past the start of the curvature of the round nose bullet. My cases are NOT over-length (they're 1.290), and I don't know if these bullets CAN be loaded without damaging the case mouths by over-crimping. There are no cannelures in these, either.
Anybody?
