What Jim stated above for most, but
I do load a 320+ gr cast pill that is a little longer, would have to check my notes to be exact.
But I had no issues with them.

If you are going to try to run longer might want to load a few dummy rounds to see if they cycle. Some of the guns will cycle longer rounds but it just depends on the one you have.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I keep everything under the S.A.A.M. I specs also 1.610. I have shot some 300 grain pills that were right at the limit. They cycled no problem. But the 1-38 twist is not fast enough from the little i shot. I only shot 6 shots at 81 lasered yards They grouped ok but 2 of them entered the paper a bit of kilter. I imagine they would have been sideways in another 20 yards.
