I have a Taurus .44 Magnum Tracker that I am considering casting for. I was considering the 429421 but I see in a Lyman manual that the OAL is 1.710". I am presuming that is dictated by the location of the crimping groove. From the front of the cylinder to the recoil shield of the revolver is only1.680". Due to all the data available for that round with that bullet I would like to find a bullet with the crimping groove in the same place in relation to the base but with a shorter nose, which could be a little fatter to maintain the nominal weight. My thought is with the same weight and case capacity 429421 data could be used without significant worry. I am looking at the Accurate 43-240E and it looks like it should work, are there any other thoughts, from experience, not conjecture?
Thanks,
Dennis
