You guys are all trying to calculate 5.9 x 3” when that’s the opened length. You got to calculate using an unopened 3” shell spec from Saami which is ~70.1 mm max which is 2.76”, this x 5.9 would yield 16.28”. If you did 5.9 x 3” = 17.7” you are so screwed. ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL!

Careful. Capacity should be limited using the minimum cartridge length (2.655) not the maximum (2.76)
Capping the mag at 5.9 round of longer 3inch shell (2.76) would allow 6 rounds of smaller 3inch shells (2.65)
5 shells being 0.1 inch shorter would give you an extra 1/2 inch of mag capacity pushing your 5.9 x2.76inch to about 6.14x2.65
