That's a neat project!
The longer COAL will help develop higher velocities in your handloads.
There is a possible flip side. It would likely be evident only if you are looking for accuracy better than, I think, 0.5 moa with factory ammunition. That longer throat looks like you might get about .02" more jump.
Since it sounds like your go-to mode of shooting will be with handloads you work up, it should not be more than an occasional inconvenince.
I'm hoping that other, more knowledgeable, contributors can help tell us more.
