[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2073845, member: 68758"] Why are you concerned with SAAMI "max length"? Modern VLD bullet designs have pretty much rendered them useless. I don't even measure OAL unless I'm concerned about mag length- and most of the time I'm not in a target rifle. If you've got the bullet seated at least as far as the top of the boattail being even with the neck/shoulder junction- you're fine. Some don't even care if it exceeds mag length if they're ok with single-loading. It's when you've got too much bullet in the case due to too short a throat- limiting your case capacity- that you'd want to lengthen it. [/QUOTE]
