PMAG: 2.8" is about the max , anything over may drag

Per the Magpul website, the maximum COAL for a PMAG is 2.820".

I am successfully running cartridges that touch 2.821" at worst.

I'm gonna grab a couple pmags to try my 6.5cm is running around 2.819, I need to keep this load untill at least after mammoth then I may shorten them up. Right now it's all my metal dpms mags want but it shoots lights out.

I have ran some a hair longer than 2.82 that dragged in pmags, but functioned. This wasn't on purpose. Running 175gr pull downs that some one tumbled the tips are very inconsistent.
