Anyone know what the max OAL length is to fit in a Savage 308 short action?

I used the Hornady OAL tool to find max oal to lands and did it several times with several different 168 gr AMAX bullets and came up with 2.255"(ogive) 2.985" to tip.


loaded in magazine and it appears to fit and cycle properly but I thought most of the time to get to the lands you would be longer than the magazine?
