Alright, my buddy and I are fairly new to reloading and we've got a question on reloading .44 mag cast bullets, specifically laser cast.
Ok, so we're using 200 grain laser cast over 22 grains of IMR4227 and am having trouble deciding the oal. We are using the lyman manual which says to use 1.645, but that just seems stupid high. The bullet all the way on the left shows 1.645 but has an entire "crimping groove" exposed. The bullet on the right is 1.575 and looks like a "normal" bullet.
We don't want excessive pressure, but this 1.645 just seems way to long.
So to sum it up:
