What mag (brand and model) allows for the longest COL?

It doesn't matter because the little bit of extra room you might gain will have zero effect on target.

Load your ammo <2.260" and live happily ever after.

An 80 grain Sierra Match King can be loaded out to 2.550" in a 5.56mm NATO chamber and not touch the rifling. That same bullet can be loaded out to 2.470" in a .223 Wylde and not touch. There isn't any magazine that can make up for that.

The good news is MDT makes a 10 shot Polymer .223 Magazine that allows loading to 2.550".  The bad news is it won't work in an AR15.  It's a AICS pattern magazine made for .223/5.56mm bolt actions.
