I am considering a Ruger American gen 2 223 rifle and would want to change the stock to a KRG Bravo chassis. My question for anyone who may have done this is when you drop the barreled action into the Bravo, will it now work with AICS 223 mags? And can you load to 2.390 coal for 75 gr Eldm bullets? Thanks

This may or may not help, but I just put my Gen1 Ruger Ranch in a KRG Bravo and I haven't had any issues with AICS mags. I bought two Ruger AICS mags.

I also don't reload, but haven't had any issues with any of the factory ammo I've used.

I had a Gen 1 Ranch and used factory Ruger 223 AICS mags in mine.
I did some work on the feed lips of the mags. I had some issues with the last 2-3 rounds nose diving in the mag and not feeding correctly. After a little work they were fine. That is a sample of one mag. YMMV.

I’m not sure what you can get for COAL, but this is a a 77 TMK @ 2.26 for reference.
I would think there would be plenty of room for a 75 ELDM.
