It's not single feed. I have mine in my 30 Sherman mag at 3.810" with plenty of room in the mag. I'm .015" off.

Some do use a single feed with a longer coal for the one in the pipe, and then load some shorter coal to fit a mag box and match the velocity of the single feed one for a follow up shot. This was more with ultra mags in the past.
The difference between his mag fed and single is the cavity behind the tip. The mag fed cavity isn't as big as the single. He did this for a few reasons as I understand it. If you use the single feed while being loaded close to the end of the Mag or box, it might damage the tip if your ammo moves in the box or mag under recoil. The mag fed aren't meant to be long range but would still be good in the 600yd range, if I remember right. Could be more. I don't have to worry about that so the single feeds works for me. They shoot the same if you have both loaded in your rifle.

I have a 225 eld m load for 300 win mag that's too long for the mag. Single feed it is. Have taken 3 deer with it so far, hasnt been a hindrance.
I have been a Nosler Partition fan, as my frazzled mind can remember for about 50 years. I have shot them out of .223, .243, .270, 308, 30-06 and 300 WM in various bullet weights both hand-loaded and factory. Over all of these years I cannot remember even once when the bullet failed me. I however have failed to place the bullet where it wanted to do it's best work on many occasions. I cannot blame the bullet for my shortcomings. My other go to bullet, which you rarely hear about in this neck of the woods are named Sierra, For those of you who have not tried Sierra bullets you should buy a box of them in your favorite caliber and favorite weight and give them a try. You may be pleasantly surprised.
