Ranger, most revolver bullets have a cannelure that you will use for roll crimping so OAL can only vary slightly. Bullets for semi automatics without a cannelure are a different story.
Gotchya. I just didn't want to go .020 too far or something and double the pressure or something... If it's jacketed and has a crimp grove, should I just seat it till it's at the groove then?
Salmoneye: thanks a ton. That manual will be used quite a bit
Josh45: I think it's longer than that, because I've seen a couple loads that call for an OAL as high as 1.677. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the Ruger Blackhawk have a longer than necessary cylinder specifically to accommodate the use of heavier bullets? I don't have another .357 Mag gun to compare it to so I don't know.
