Velocity is nice but you got to get it. The Barnes 168gr TTSX is 1.418" long so your going to have that bullet base in the case body. How much depends on how your rifle is throated and how far off the lands you get best accuracy. That Nolser 168gr E-Tip I shot in 300WSM was 1.400" long.

The Barnes 150gr is 1.300" long and 150gr E-Tip is 1.293" long. A 150gr Partition is 1.100",165gr Partition 1.173" and 180gr Partition 1.180".
