I agree with your numbers from what I've measured using a small sample size of FGMM 168 and some MilSurp 762x51 150gr ammo.

For my Savage 10FP LE2b, I can cheat the 155s out to 2.840"ish and still have a firm bullet seat.

For gas guns and such, like you say, probalby closer to 2.810" would be prudent.
