[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 650631, member: 42308"] Are you hoping to magazine feed or are you thinking in absolute terms? In a single loaded bench only setup you can seat the bullet out to within a .1" of the boattail on the bearing surface or until you get to the rifling. Only useful for load and shoot with no intention of carrying the gun as there is not sufficient neck tension to hold the bullet long term. You could end up with an action full of powder if you need to remove a loaded round as well. In my use of the 230 tactical OTM I've not found it necessary to get to carried away chasing the lands. That being said I am exceeding magazine length mostly because the shape of the bullet forward of the ogive being so much longer than "regular" bullets. YMMV [/QUOTE]
