In some 357s that will be necessary, yes. In the group buy results section I posted an n frame that is barely able to use them in 357 brass when crimped in the groove. I suspect non-recessed guns may have the most luck.
It is well known that this is an occurrence with this bullet and the n frames of the day. It's not a failing of the design but rather just how it is. Even Elmer Keith stated a few times it might be a little long.
Load it in 38 brass and pretend it's a 38-44 if you don't want to crimp in the front or it won't fit. That s what Elmer did.
