Does the bullet have a crimp groove or canalure? If so just seat it to there and crimp . . . your COAL will be whatever that is . . .

I make light loads all the time using 44 mag cases and have never had a problem.

In fact . . . I would rather light load 44 cases than use 44 special cases because there is less chance for messing something up and I don't get cases mixed up, because if you accidentally put a 44 mag full house load in a 44 special case . . . you could have a problem. I had that problem by mistakenly putting a .454 load in a .45 case by mistake which caused a serious ejection problems. I only shoot .454 brass and If I want .45 loads, I just just make light loads. Also removes the problem of having the shorter cases gunk up your chambers.
