According to the Lyman Cast Bullet handbook:
38 Special 358429 OAL 1.525"
357 Mag 358429 OAL 1.565"

Lyman has seen fit to change some of the boolit designs over the years, so this probably is a ballpark figure.

Also note that the length in the .357 case is with the boolit seated to crimp over the first driving band

Thanks for the replys and info.
Really need to know what the length is crimped in the crimp grove using the 357 case.
Is the nose to crimp the same length as the 429421? If so i can go from there.
Once again thanks guys.
