"…Measuring the SP101 for handloads, cylinder length checked 1.580". SAAMI maximum cartridge overall length specification for the 357 Magnum is 1.590", however, the 357 Mag headspaces on its 0.060" – 0.070" rim, so only a maximum of 1.530" projects into the cylinder, leaving a minimum of 0.050" between bullet tip and cylinder face. Most of my cast bullet handloads have a cartridge overall length, still leaving a solid 0.040" minimum clearance at the front of the cylinder. Cylinder to barrel gap on this particular revolver was a feeler gauge dragging 0.006" and cylinder to barrel indexing passed a range rod check with flying colors.."
