Henning please help - 38SC Crimp/OAL

Hi Henning and others,

I'd started to load the 38SC [starline] for my Large frame V8.

As suggested by Eric G, I should not load anything longer than 31.6mm(1.24").

But I found the dimension of the large frame mag at Henning website is 1.345" x 0.850".

Is that means I can load it a little longer like 1.25"?? Will 1.25" function in the large frame factory mags?

As seen from the pic below, due to the shape of my bullet and the length of the shank [124RN], this is what it looks like with 1.244".

Does it looks fine? If I seat a little deeper to 1.24", I afraid the bullet will start to set back.

Moreover, as Henning suggested, I'd just crimp the bell out with minimum crimp.

I have 2 measurment. Same crimp setting. (1)With new brass is 0.3805". (2) With brass that U-died is 0.380".

Do I have enough crimp? What crimp measurment do you have?

Hope anyone can be advised.

3rd Picture below shown how deep the bullet seated inside the case indicated with the long line. Short line indicated how much the bullet remains before it start to curve.
