A closer look at the "Norma Swift" factory load with 500-gr A-Frame bullet:

Nice "Factory Crimp" on the factory ammo.
Short-grain extruded powder is right at base of bullet when loaded, no compression, about 100% LR/net fill.
That is 0.3 grains over maximum of the Reloading Manual for Norma 201.
If we let the brass grow to 2.500" and seated and crimped at same seating depth, COL would be 3.335"
which rounds to 3.34" heh-heh-heh.
