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.

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.
