    Correct cartridge length

    Hi, I received a 308 Lee Loader Classic for Christmas and went to the local Hunting and Fishing shop for powder, primers, and projectiles. They gave me AR2206H, 12 30 cal Hornady 150gr Interbond projectiles and the No 200 CCI primers. I see I use 43 grains of this power and loaded 6 rounds without a problem. The overall length of my rounds are 70mm or 2.747 inches. I though as long as they are 2.8 inches or less they are fine. I then see there is minimum lengths as well or should they just be 2.8 inches exact? I see the Winchester rounds I use are 2.7 inches but different powder of course.
    Am I ok with the size I have used?
    Thanks,
