[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3956786, member: 15054"] I do not crimp my cast bullets. One reason is they are soft cast and do not set back when firing. So if it was my 38 loads i would probably end up around your 1.41 set. That first groove from the base of the bullet is actually a lube groove where some sort of grease/wax type lube went and the second groove would have some but that second groove is where the crimp usually goes. 1.48" may not even fall into the cylinder all the way.
