6-284 oal question

I'm in the planning stages of a custom live varmint rifle and need a little input. I've decided to go with the 6-284 and now need to decide if i can use a repeater action. I want to shoot the 95gr berger vld bullet and was wondering what oal everybody loaded theirs to. I realize every gun will be a little different, so i'm just wanting to get a few numbers to kick around. If i can go with a repeater, i'll use a badger detatchable mag bottom plate in an A5 stock. This will restrict oal to 2.81",though i've been told with a few mods you can get it up to 2.95"). Is this a viable option with this bullet? I'll also use the 75g and 87gr vmax bullets,if they'll shoot good!) for shorter rang p-dogs, but those shouldn't pose a problem. Thanks in advance everyone, and any additional advice is appreciated,although I am set on the 6-284, as i'm sure i'll have objections to that choice!)
 
I load the Bergers just into the lands and Sierras and Noslers about 0.015 off the lands.
