I just casted up some 180gr WC from a Ideal 2C 429348 mold. Getting ready to load some up and I'm looking for OAL.

Don't have that mold, but I'm looking at a picture. And....I don't know your load or your firearm. Personally, I'd crimp in the top lube grove (if it wasn't too long for you cylinder).
Your COL is set by your crimp groove(s). An S&W M29 cylinder is 1.7" long, a M69 is shorter. Give yourself some room for crimp jump.
