Thanks, Swifty.

So why do the Hornady and Lyman manuals recommend a COAL longer than the case?

I'm going to keep seating to the case mouth. Among other considerations, I don't like crimping unless the bullet has a groove, and with a plated bullet like the Berry too much crimp will cut through the plating.
