.300 WM with new Nosler LR Accubonds

I am interested in loading some of these in a Rem. 700 with a factory SAAMI chamber. The magazine will allow a long OAL round but I'm not sure how long they can be and have the ogive short of the rifling. So far I am unable to obtain any for testing so I'm asking for any members who have experience with these long bullets in a .300WM to give me their thoughts.
Thanks.

I don't have any testing with the .30 bullets but have a lot with the .277 150gr LRAB. Mine liked a jump of around .050" or more. they didn't really like to be close to the lands in my 270wsm. Just got my 270wsm rebarrel and will be testing a lot soon. My brother has tested them out to 600 yards with his 270wsm and had great success with them at 3060fps. took a local buck at 580yards up hill angle and DRT, hit spine and no exit. I was kind of surprised about the no exit but probably due more to the up hill angle. Massive blood and tissue damage like a berger hunting VLD. His 270wsm is not SAAMI chamber its a custom and he is .130" off the lands.
 
What is the OAL of your loaded rounds and have you measured base to ogive of the bullet?
Thanks
