I didn't know having partial boxes of ammo leftover was such a big concern. If they feed better though, I'm in for some new mags.

So, are you going to test 'em out for us, I have too much going on and all of my mags work fine.

Wonder what the max coal is? I have never had an issue with my ASE and C-products mags so if these mags do not allow longer coal then they aren't worth it

Only diffrence between theses mags and the 26 round mag they have been making for a few years, is that this mag only holds 20 rounds.
Everything about the follower, spring, end plate and mag body is the same as the 26 rounder. This mag is just cut shorter to hold only 20 rounds.

The main advantage of these (other than the fact that they work, unlike some other brands) is that it's a 20 rounder that fully clears the ground with a bipod (Atlas at it's lowest level pictured)

With Ammunition sold in 20-round boxes, there simply hasnt been a clean break for 6.5 Grendel fans to load a magazine and toss the empty box. There were always leftovers!
My gripe has always been leftovers when loading 30 round 5.56 mags. The horror! Someone needs to start boxing in 30 rounds.
Seriously, though, in a military environment I can see the point.

Article says MSRP is $30. Where did you find them and how much were they?
Edit:
After searching, I found some at JoeBobOutfitters.com for $21.95 each. BigDaddyUnlimited and OpticsPlanet both carry Duramags, but neither had the 20 round Grendel mags.
If somebody knows a better or less expensive source, I'd appreciate any tips.

Not cheaper but JSE Surplus has all sizes of 6.5 Grendel Duramags... Only 33 20 rounders left.

Shooting Surplus has 20 rounders at $20.06 & they also might have 10 & 26 rounders as well...

Link & picture says/shows orange follower but the description says blue... (Note: Long wait shipping times from this supplier.)

Thanks for the leads. I'll check them out. Cheers.
