I found my OAL length last night to touch the rifle lands at 3.435, HOWEVER,...the rifle's max magazine length is 3.425...

OK, you have built-in standOFF of 0.010" if you max out the magazine length.
That is a good place to start.
In the end you "probably" will choose 0.020 OFF -- just MHO
That said, I'd suggest you get a Hornady comparator set to get true measurement of how
the ogive is setting up relative to the lands for
you. Bullet OALs (especially exposed lead designs)
tend to vary a bit... and you want to reference off the ogive to be as repeatable as possible....
