OAL 2.224"
30.2 grains of ball powder.
Bullet weighed in at 110.4 grains
Case was 119 grains with the primer in it.
This was with a Hornaday scale, whatever the basic scale part number is, so take those with a grain of salt.
This only took 3 hits with an inertia puller to dislodge. I've had to beat the ever loving hell out of most of my reloads that I crimp to dislodge a bullet.

Remember that the tighter the crimp, the higher the pressure. Of course I don't think you can crimp one tight enough to raise the pressure to unsafe levels. If it takes more than 3 or 4 good whacks with a inertia puller, you might want to ease up just a little.
I use the Lee factory crimp dies. Only one crimp has made me really nervous, and no primers looked funny that time. And some of those bullets I was pulling got seated really deep- forgot to adjust the die when changing bullets. :)
Why can't you shoot it? Is there something wrong with it?
Time. Work is currently from dawn til dusk. I will try it this weekend.
