Bullet94 points out some variables one has to consider.
Some bolt action rifles with short actions or magazine-fed rifles put limits on the OAL. Some manufacturers have built rifles with long throats and short actions in the past.
I usually try to use the OAL listed for a particular bullet in the better reloading manuals. I don't go much shorter as it increases pressure. But if you load the bullets too long and contact the rifling origin (or even worse force the bullet into it) the pressure goes up.
Often the best accuracy in a given rifle is found when the bullet is seated so it is is just short of the rifling origin. But that always isn't the case.
With some cases, particularly shorter necked ones such as the .300 Win. Mag., some bullets aren't secure enough seated long. Just chambering a round will shift the OAL. The bullet will usually move deeper into the case. I've particularly had trouble with boat tail bullets. The bullets with long bearing surfaces work better in cases with short necks. I've also heard of cases when long-seated bullets pull out of case necks when an unfired cartridge is extracted from the chamber.
Another thing to consider is: Will these cartridges be used in another rifle? If so, you should avoid loading the bullets long.
