How many rounds of .284 win. will a model 70 magazine hold; three or four?

This being a fatter case than '06 based cartridges do you lose a round in capacity?

But will the bolt close with 4 in the magazine? Check to be sure.

I have a couple of rifles which will hold one more round than spec, but the top round won't recede into the magazine enough for the bolt to close over it, effectively negating this extra round.
