scoot - I am shooting a TC G2 Contender carbine and can load the rounds as long.....OAL as the chamber will allow. I don't have that dimension here with me but I can get it.
I shoot tons of prairie dogs and I need a load that will work reliably with less concern for max speed but extreme accuracy.
As with all rounds that I handload I have found it to be totally unnecessary to load 'over max'. It serves no purpose and for high volume shooting it is wasteful. If I were shooting a few times a year I may be inclined to push it but like this last weekend I took out three rifles and fired nearly 600 total rounds at "reactive" targets. Not one time in three days did I feel like a grain or two more powder would have made any difference.
Thus far I have used 32 gr. V maxs and 32 gr. Blitz kings with equal success but have not tried any 40 gr. bullets at all.
Just for reference I did shoot my loads thru my Chrony and I get 4100 fps.
