I haven’t been in 6.5 Grendel long and started with E-lander 17s and a CPD 26 round.
Only had it loaded up to 24 rounds but it functioned fine in my PSA 12” upper.
Overall I prefer the E-lander mags just cause they’re made of heavier gauge steel and have good stiff springs. But I’ve run CPDs in 7.62x39 for years and they’re the best option in that caliber. I think the 24 round E-landers are available on AA’s site now. But they don’t have the curve that CPDs have and that’s a plus in a tapered cartridge.
I think geometry is key and what works in my rifle may not be best for yours. I’d try both and see what runs best.
