How do you measure a firm crimp in 44 Mag? My loaded cartridge measures .453 at the bullet bulge and .450 at the mouth. Crimp is right at the groove. .
Empty case measures .013 at the mouth, using Horandy 240gr XTP CL-SIL bullet.
These function great in my Redhawk, but I just got a 1894 in 44 Mag and want to make sure I don't get setback in the tube magazine.
Does this sound like enough crimp?
