My TC compass came with a mag that shows it's compatible with 308, 243, 7mm-08, and 6.5CM. Probably the same with Ruger and others.

Exactly correct.
We have read where exceptions have occurred but with catastrophic outcomes!
Cartridges from similar families of cases will work quite well in magazine designed for those families. Even the 6.5 Creedmoor, which is derived from the .30 T/C case, works in a .308 Win. magazine as it is closely related to the .308 family of cases.
Best.
