Is the cylinder on the Rhino long enough to use Lyman 358429 in 357 cases?

Dunno, but to help your research, I measured the OAL of an original Lyman 358429 seated in a new WW 357 case and got 1.66". Note that this includes the case rim, typically 0.055" thick, so a cylinder without recessed rims can be that much shorter. If a firm roll crimp is used, to prevent recoil induced back out of the bullet, a further 0.020" will do for clearance.

A 2 Gen Colt SAA measures right at 1.66" (measured over the chambered case, actual cylinder length is less). I would trim cases a bit for such use in this revolver.
