great string. many questions answered.

my question: what is the tolerable deviation off of the suggested OAL in the load book, 10%, 5%?

Better to be over or under the OAL value?

Does it matter according to pisol being auto or revolver? (i'm talking pressure levels and KB risk here not mag/feed probs).

thanks.

P.S. I usually try to hit the suggested OAL dead on just out of workmanship pride but I ask these questions for reference generally.
