    Grendel mags? or 6.8 mag?

    I need to go ahead and get a mag that works for the grendel better than a 223 mag... i only want a 5 round mag.... ive heard 6.8 apc mags work better than grendel mags? And read a 6.8 mag give more length for seating bullets...

    i think my seating depth is 2.295??? Its dead max length in my 5 round 223 mag

    I've never used 6.8 SPC mags but I have ASC & C Products 5 & 10 round mags which have always worked. My 5 round magazine only holds 4 rounds and my 10 round only easily accept 9 rounds. I don't have or tried any of the C Products Defense mags or the new 25 round Elander mags. I have never tried to load my cartridges that long as my chamber will not accept cartridges seated that long.

      Unless your going to use a 68 lower with according mags your not really going to gain much more length in any mag as they are limited by the mag well just go with a grendel mag
      Punctuation is for the weak....

          I like the C-Products 10 rounder, stainless, very nice finish and mine work.

              PRI 6.8 mags reportedly allow 2.30" cartridge OAL.

              Mark at Precision Firearms says the PRI mags work fine with 6.5 Grendel ammo. http://www.65grendel.com/forum/showt...l=1#post103995
