Magazine well length Rem 700 .308

Heretic

I have a 700 in SPS (ADL) .308. In trying to get close to the lands I've measured the distance as avg 2.987, tip to base.

I bought a comparator and Factory rounds from Winchester and Hornady have distances to the ogive as 2.170 avg.

The mag well in the rifle has a max length of 2.854.

To which length would it be better to load the ammo? Mag length, .010 short of mag length or factory length?

Up until now, I've loaded to book specs from Nosler and Sierra.

Thanks in advance!
