Length of Lyman #356637 bullets?

[rdtompki]

Using Lyman's WSF load for a 147gr #356637 I want to make an OAL adjustment for a longer coated lead bullet (the Lyman data is for 1.058" OAL), but I've been unable to find the length of the cast bullet online? Anyone out there have a sample that they can measure? Thanks!

It really doesn't matter.

147 grain lead bullets of the same basic shape?
The length of the bullet simply doesn't matter because they will be very close to the same length if they are the same shape.

What does matter is the number of grease grooves, / bearing surface.

Use the start load data for the bullet closest to yours.
Then start at the Start load and work up.
