Well, I don't load a plated bullet, but Laser-cast shows an OAL of 1.250" for their 200 gr. LSWC. It appears that you are reloading without a reference manual, relying on word-of-mouth loads. I STRONGLY suggest you purchase a loading manual that has data for the type of bullets you are loading for. Any good gun shop should have a selection for you to choose from.
And, yes, seating a bullet too deeply can cause unsafe pressures if you are loading near-maximum loads. Do yourself a favor and get a manual.
