Bullets cast in this mold and fitted with gas checks do not feed correctly in my 1894 Marlin.

The overall length is 1.65" when crimped in the crimp groove.

Specs for the 44 Magnum list a maximum overall length of 1.61"

Can the Marlin be modified to feed these longer bullets?

Loads made with bullets cast in Lee 429-214 SWC feed just fine.
