The other thing I do when I'm in doubt of OAL (as long as I'm not jamming anything) is to line up the bullet against the case neck and measure to make sure I have one caliber (0.264 in this case) against the neck's inside. usually that means enough shank against the whole neck-length... if you can allow it then the boat tail just drops down into the shoulder area...
Works for all but the stubbiest of pills... the pro hunter has to be seated shorter in order to give some jump, it's so fat at the tip lol.
Interesting. My hope is that I may be about done working with different bullets after the TTSX. Already have target loads I like based on Barnes Match Burner, which is cheap. Maybe will fool with a cast bullet in the bolt gun at some point, but that is a whole other ballgame.
