[QUOTE="Miller Outdoors, post: 446805"] Take the measurement multiple times to ensure you have an accurate measurement. Then measure your mag - there's no use loading rounds that won't fit in your mag. Then, if you still have a long measurement load up your rounds to whatever it need be, just keep an eye on pressure signs like a sticky bolt handle and flattening primers. It's not uncommon for a guy to not be able to seat them really close to the lands because they just won't fit in the mag. If you have a chronograph use it and compare your velocity to the book's velocity for that load and you'll get an early idea on how much more you can safely push it. [/QUOTE]
