Lightbulb Uh, depends upon your definition & the significance of "minimum"

Significance of the "minimum" length has to do with pressure concerns.

You can load "long" to basically (within reason) whatever O.A.L. will correspond to the cannelure and "fit" in the revolver cylinder. You might loose a few f.p.s., but...
