    From the nose -
    .38" to the first large diameter.
    .42" to the top of the crimp groove.
    .47" to the bottom of the crimp groove.

    Somewhere, I read to use 12.5 gr. 2400 in that application. YMMV. Work up!

    I can't get any out to you right now, but if you want to wait about 3 weeks, then I can probably help you out with a handful or so. I wouldn't charge you. I'd just send them out. Unfortunately, I can't get to it any sooner than that though.
