Yes quite right. Trying for a mag length load. A COAL of 2.965 reduces pressure, but surprisingly little (probably trade-off with being closer to the lands?) difference with velocity due to the extra case capacity. So while with reduced case capacity they are still right near where a longer COAL can get to in terms of pressure/velocity. Here is the QL Tables for max pressure load of 65k psi and 2.960 COAL followed by the 2.820 COAL table:
