You have a point with the overall length affecting accuracy, but it is more likely due to the distance off the lands of the rifling that will affect accuracy and raise pressures. Potentially every change you make, even ones that seem insignificant, will affect accuracy and pressure to some degree. Thats why it's so much darned fun handloading.
. Good luck .
