oal of bullet

odinson
I just read the previous post about over all length. I checked my .44 mag barrel (14" contender) with the bullet in the case method. I came up with a measurement of 1.78. I guess that is where the bullet meets the lands. The manual calls for a overall length of 1.61. Could someone explain to meet what this is about? What should the oal of my loads be?

    Go by the book on revolver cartridge oal.Crimping in the cannuleur Do not-- try this with any powder like 296 or h110 that requires a firm crimp I think this is a big problem waiting to happen. In fact I don't think anyone would recommend doing this with any powder at all.Repeat DO NOT TRY Best Dave

    ok,thanks. I will stick to oal in the manuals. I have been having trouble with consistency. I get some good shots and then some fliers. I will take a look at the bullets. It has been suggested that I weigh them and see if there is some deviation in the weights.
