[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 331727, member: 313"] I suggested starting at magazine length for a hunting rifle not because it worked in my .308 but because, ideally, a hunting rifle should be capable of using the magazine. Knowing that the optimal length of a loaded round could be found anywhere, and can often be found at more than one OAL, It is still my opinion that load development (for a hunting rifle) should start at a length that allows ammo to fit in the magazine. Who knows, you may get lucky and find acceptable accuracy right there. And then again, maybe not. :D Asking what is the best OAL for accuracy is like asking what is your favorite accuracy load. It may be interesting but it provides very limited benefit for the load development for any other firearm. [/QUOTE]
