In order to get the maximum powder charge in the 44mag case to exploit the 300/305/310 etc, bullet weights I crimp on the bottom groove; as recommended This resulted in the OAL exceeding the length of the SBH cylinder. The Redhawk was designed to handle the longer (heavier) cartridges. Problem solved with the Redhawk (a.k.a. TANK). You may be able to get the OAL down by crimping on the top groove, but that will limit your powder charge, and sort of defeat the intent. I'd also be a bit leery of a six-shot cylinder vs. a 5-shot cylinder in a SBH. I run heavy Garrett's and heavy handloads through my Redhawk and sleep like a baby.
