...as my components SLOWWWLLLLY 
trickle in I capture data on the bullets, some of which I share so others can get an idea before they drop dollars on something "sight unseen". The data that I share is "generic" in nature, everybody's individual barrel differs.
..the image below is of 3 bullets that indicate where the base of the bullet would be if that specific bullet was seated to a COAL of approximately 2.255" to fit in virtually any magazine used in a gasser. The image gives an idea of how much of the powder space would be affected for that bullet if seated to that COAL. The tips of the bullets are aligned at the 2.255" COAL of the dummy cartridge on right with a 105RDF seated.
CAVEAT: Depending on the actual ogive type of the bullet, seating to a max COAL of 2.260 for magazine fit MAY NOT be possible, the chamber dimensions of individual barrels influence that. As an example, the bullet on the far left is the Berger 95gn Hunter Classic with a Hybrid Ogive and the "touch" point of that bullets ogive in MY BARREL is approximately 1.731". If that bullet is loaded to 2.255 the ogive will be at approximately 1.785", a 0.054 jam into the lands of MY BARREL, definitely not good for pressure! For MY barrel, that bullet has to be seated deeper..... YMMV
Bullets left to right: Berger 95 Classic Hunter, Nosler 105 RDF, Hornady 108 ELD-M, seated 105 RDF.
