Max COAL in .308 Win 70 mag box?

[Sup]

I don't have a Model 70 308 family mag box at my disposal and am need of loading up some dummies for chambering. Can someone provide me with the max COAL so I can seat a few boolets and send them on the way?

What does your reloading book tell you? Mine says 2.80.

2.800. If you run from a mag its 2.800.

Really???? Please educate us on why that is so.

AICS Mags 2.880"
Seekins Mags 2.940"
AI-AW Mags 2.980"
AI-AE Mk1 Mags 2.925"
Alpha Ind. Morta Mags 2.985

So 308 rounds from all these mags should be run @ 2.80"?

Not looking for length info on DBM systems. Looking for the max length possible in the Winchester factory 308 magbox.

Will keep those lengths in my notes though, so thank you.

Want to know the MAX that I can seat a bullet out and still be able to feed from the factory 308 mag box.......................

Oh...ok...that was for a .308 winchester cartridge. If there is another other than that I am lost.
