Default Ruger Precision Rifle 6.5 PRC

Does anyone have one of these "gen 3" versions of the Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 PRC?

I'm curious as to the magazine/action length. As far as I can see on the Ruger website it is still using standard AICS mags.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this will cause issues seating depth restrictions with a max COAL of 2.955"?

Also from what I have read even the 2.955" COAL will still have a large jump to the lands with 142/147 eld bullets?

Hornady factory ammo is measuring 2.945 for both the 143ELDX and 147ELDM. Based on tip to ogive measurements, this would put hornady factory ammo jammed into the lands on the original PT&G reamer spec about ten thousandths. On the new reamer with the .1882 freebore, you'd be looking at approx 50 thousandths jump.

All the eldm’s I’ve done development for like to jump
I heard that it was designed specifically to fit their bullets better than their competitors into a mag
