How much bearing surface do you have when seated? A good rule of thumb is to have 1 bullet diameter in the case - so 0.277" for your 6.8spc. Boat-tails and secant ogives can bump that around one way or another, but that's a good starting point.

Book numbers don't matter much. Mag length, bullet jump, and neck bearing length is what matters.
