Oh boy.

"but with the case being longer, the bullet will be seated deeper "

No. Measure from the base of the bullet to the case head: no matter how long the case neck is, the usable volume of the case is the same. You will see less of the bullet exposed , but case volume is the same.

"Collective Overall Length" Jimro, I sure hope that is your spell checker choking. Never heard of it. I have heard cartridge OAL (COAL) but I am sure that is a redundant term with OAL.
