I am loading 245g Keith style bullets in 44 mag. My Lyman #49 manual says the OAL should be 1.71 inches. That's not even getting me close to the crimp groove. Would probably need to seat it another .15 or .2 to get there. Over 10g of unique I have case to spare, but maybe not 23g of 296. So seat to crimp, or seat to suggested OAL?
Welcome to the forum!!!!.........crimp in the crimp groove and work up your loads.

Ignore all the OAL figures in books. Use the crimp groove.
