Mine measure 1.275 and have a few firings on them.  Have you measured the reamer?

I just picked up a Ruger #1 that has been rebarreled and chambered in .32 miller short.  I need to make some cases for it.

Reamer print shows 1.22 to the base of the rim. So its 1.22 plus your rim for OAL.

Ok how much do they grow after forming from 357 max cases, what should I cut them down to before forming them so they are at the correct length after forming.
Thanks in advance!

don't attempt to trim and form to the final length. simpler, and surer, to rough it and fire form and THEN trim to final length.

Also the 360 Dan Wesson cases are shorter then max cases but are suppose to have the heavier web like the max, Much less to trim
