The company put a "Cannelure" on its jacket bullet for "Their" idea of what the OAL should be, in their tests.

The 38 case has lots of lea way for a bullet OAL and +/- .04"
is generally no big thing, just loads do look better if on or near the "can".

As for your load, you are a LONG way from a full load with that powder. My 2" J frame got 925fps with a full load of Universal.

Just try to not let the bullet get past its cylinder or "Body" into
your case, which is too short of an OAL for any bullet.
A crimp at this setting will force the bullet farther into the case.

Have fun.
