it is a .308, so will the 308 cycle longer bullets, if so, thats a plus, I think
It really doesn't matter how long the bullet is because it doesn't change the max COAL.
The cartridge should be the same length regardless of whether you are shooting 87 grain or 120 grain bullets.
You are hiding the longer bullets in the case, not out front.
The 308 may or may not help you cycle longer cartridges, but it doesn't help you cycle longer bullets.
