308 oal

I think you're talking about what I call, the jump space. I am talking about COL. Like the .223 OAL is 2.260

Every day is a good day. Some are just better than others.

If I’m following you correctly, I am referring to “jump space”. That space dictates how far out you can seat your bullet. If you seat your bullet to the OAL that the manufacturer says to load it to, then you will be safe with more jump space. If you seat your bullet farther out than what the book says, it will reduce the amount of jump space. For AR style rifles your max COAL is usually limited to magazine length. When I load for my AR’s I just go with what the book says and don’t bother with measuring for max. In this case it would be 2.700”.
