I just started loading .45 Colt for a lever action rifle. I noticed that Speer's latest manual has some loads listed with a caveat that they are too long for lever action rifles. However, other reloading sources have even longer loads and don't give any warnings about OAL.

Does anybody know if there is a suggested max OAL for .45 Colt in lever guns?
