No disrespect intended. Safety first, accuracy second.
Yup an the other thing is if you are have a magazine and want to use it you cannot go longer than the mag will fit.
I do think that more reading needs to be done. I understand that you are asking here to get answers as well as all of us have done. But I do think that some info has been left out for anyone to fully answer your question.
If you are shooting just one round at a time or happen to have a single shot there.
If you are using an AR rifle with factory magazines you cannot really go much further than 2.260.
Not only that I would not trust using the land method that you described. You are crushing the jacket just a bit if you are depending on closing the bolt and using the lands to determine your length. From everything I understand that is not a good way to do it.
