1.68 by my calculation which agrees with my experience with the Keith bullet in 41 mag.

If you have a shorter cylinder, you can crimp over the shoulder for somewhere around 1.58 - 1.60 OAL, but you'll need about 3/4 gr. less powder for the shorter length.

I ended up at 1.667" coal with these 240 gr Rimrocks over 7.8 grains of Unique. Out to be a nice load.
