What rifle are you using?My early 99 Savage is a maxium COAL @ 2.6" your 155gr lead RFN should be well under that. Horace

My Lyman #47 shows an OAL for the 300 Savage with a 169g Lyman Cast Bullet (#311291) at 2.358"
That's as close as it comes with your request for a 155g.

With a 113g (311359) OAL 2.280"
And with a 178g (311467) OAL 2.525"
My book also shows a maximum OAL at 2.600"

Find what your rifle needs to feed and chamber well and use it. Book OAL is just what the book makers used that functioned properly in their test rifle, it's not a law.
