Corrado,
Like I said in the email, I don't have one of those bullets to measure. But ... I do have one of the 6 cavity Lee molds. So I dug it out and measured from the bullet nose to the top of the crimp grove and got approximately .341". Add that to a .45 Colt case trimmed to 1.280" and you come up with 1.620" ... approximately.
That should work with the rifle you told me about.
