I have been doing some reloading and the manual states that the maximum S.A.A.M.I. O.A.C.L is 3.340. I used my seating depth gauge and then backed it off .015". This gives me a O.A.C.L of 3.474. Is this a problem if all the literature states that the max is 3.340 and I am longer. I tried it in the riffle and they feed well with no sticking or extra pressure to lock the bolt. What are your thoughts on this. Should I seat them deeper or give it a try at the length that I have right now?

Book max length is just a standard for factory ammunition to feed in factory firearms. Most chambers are longer. Every gun is different so you are just fine.

consider yourself lucky my magazine only lets me load to coal. Length that the books call for. so if I want to load longer I have to shoot as a single shot
