Has anyone tried these? I am wanting to purchase this mold but I am wanting to know what the OAL of this bullet is.

It's pretty long. In my handi rifle 45-70 I can crimp in the first grease groove (barely)

Ill measure a few when I get home. Memory tells me it's around an inch or more

Thanks I appreciate the info.

Mine are measuring around 1.35-1.36"

They're long, yes. But don't worry overly about the length of the finished projectile. They shoot great out of my trapdoor and sharps.
