Always be sure to check your manual to see if the COL (COAL OAL whatever they're calling it this month) listed is a max or a minimum. Different manuals use different data. I have one manual that lists COL max for handgun loads and min for rifle. Do not assume. Also remember that COL is variable according to your application. Seating in the lands is not something for a beginner to try. Rifle throats are being manufactured longer lately to avoid lawsuits from overpressure disasters. It may not even be possible in your rifle.
