I really think you should not use other peoples OAL's. You need to measure your own. If your barrel is different, and it probably is, then you risk getting the bullet against the rifling with pressure issues as a consequence. With fast powder and heavy bullets you reach high pressures real fast, many loads are on the limit. Getting a bullet smack on the rifling can mean bye-bye fingers and bye-bye gun.

Make a couple of dummy rounds (you can pull and reuse the bullets later) in different OAL's until you find the one that plunks upon insertion and (important) also turns freely. A soft lead or plated round can plunk when it's against the rifling, but still won't turn. Then you make them 0.015 shorter to account for variances in case lengths and bullet seating.
