Tanner,

As long as the tube headspaces properly, I wouldn't worry about mag constraints on a factory tube. If it's too long, it'll have to be set back, and the new reamer run in again, and/or use a throating reamer. Also, many rounds down the barrel at this point is tough on reamers. Just throwing money down a [bleep] hole. Plus, you want it under 2.800" so you can chase the lands.

Burn it up, and you'll have brass for the new tube.

But then at the rate you've been moving, it'll be down the road and you'll be on to the next adventure before you know it.....
