Buffman Range does videos where he chronographs a lot of ammo. Buffman has been testing some 6.5 Grendel ammo using a 12" and 18" PSA 6.5 Grendel AR-15's. Buffman has been using a D&H mag with good results.
If your having feed issues you can try loading a few 6.5 Grendel cartridges in a 5.56 magazine to compare function. A 5.56/223 mag will work with a few 6.5 Grendel cartridges but get to many rounds in the mag and they don't stack properly and will start to bulge the 5.56/223 mag.
It is not uncommon to encounter feed issues with a 6.5 Grendel if an AR-15 is over or under gassed.

I watched a few of his videos today and noticed the mags, he had one mention of them in the videos I saw and said they worked without issues. Your right, there is very little review of these mags. That?s really the main reason behind this post, figured if anyone had any experience with them it would be on here.
I have thought about testing with a couple pmags, but after my last outing with it, I am pretty convinced the mags are the issue. I tend to only get FTF from the eject port (right handed) side cartridge and never the left side. I have had the issue happen when having an open bolt, load mag with right side cartridge and hitting the bolt release. Single shots always lock back, have not noticed any short stroking. The right sides always hard to push out the mag by hand and the last rib in the mag always catches the extractor gap on the rim of the cartridge and it gets hung and hard to get out. This is where I am placing fault/blame for the FTFs. I checked gas port position and it?s dead center from the residue. These DH mags with the smooth side peaked my interest because I was getting ready to modify mags to have smooth walls. I don?t have high end parts in this build but I put money in the right parts that I shouldn?t have this kind of hell with it.
