Is that now considered a 'straightwall cartridge?

Been there, done that with the shoulder squashing.
My own bonehead didn't result in any cartridges destroyed.
Loading 45 Colt with 185gr Sierra JHP.
Manual said COAL 1.250".
I'm sitting there looking at it and there is no way to crimp if I make it that.
Sitting there trying to figure out if I can load it longer and still get the cylinder to rotate.
Then I got my revolver to try them.
DUH!!!
It's a Taurus Judge.....
I can shoot 2-1/2" shotgun shells in it. COAL for 45 Colt doesn't matter.
