Hey everyone.

I am not sure I reading this correctly but the load data I wanting to use is http://castpics.net/project2/CastDataview.php?ReferenceNumber=2490. However I am not sure that a 2 inch OAL is even possible. Have I misread this or is this data incorrect?

Thanks

I don't think the OAL is right either but 9-10gr. Blue Dot is a very reasonable load in a 357 with 158gr. cast boolits.

That AOL is not correct.

I own several .357 magnum revolvers the longest cylinder in the batch is over one fourth inch shorter than 2 inches.

Since no bullet is specified I cannot be specific but the first try at AOL should be crimp it into the crimp groove.
If it is a jacketed bullet, it will probably have a cannalure for crimping.
