You might be surprised on the OAL not affecting much. I have a Tikka and load to max. mag length, and it does great.
175 LRX Barnes
RL25 80.0
Cci 250 mag.
This load hits like a lightning strike. Not really using it for the intended purposes of long range but for deer out to 250 it has been an absolute hammer. Wouldn't hesitate to use it for elk or bear
