I don't understand. I guess it is just me.
There are many threads on this forum about people asking if anyone knows which magazines will function reliably with 6.5 Grendel.
Absolutely zero failures. That doesnt mean the mags functioned as smooth as they could, and 1200 rounds is a relatively small sample to determine total reliability.
The ASC mags were the first I received with my Grendel.
I didn't have to go shoot the rifle to see there were issues with the magazines. Pretty sure a novice shooter would have determined they were of poor/cheap design. Also they were the only ones that required I, (and many others if you read those same threads you mention) needed to bend feed lips to improve function.
OP is asking about a "Bet-your-life reliability in a 6.5 Grendel AR15 platform". AR platform is semi-auto. Key component of semi-auto reliability is magazine function, longevity.
If I were to inquire about Bet-your-life reliability in a 6.5 Grendel AR15 platform, i want all the data, input, experience I can get, which is what I offered.
...yeeeesh.
