This was all virtually settled well over a half century ago, what part do we fail to understand??
The "Load" should be suitable for the gun in question.
The "Loaded" shell should have clearance & not enter the cone.
""IF"" an exceedingly old gun with very short & abrupt cone results in tearing of the crimp, use shorter shells.
Otherwise concern yourself with pointing the gun.
