I ?loved? the idea the American Predator Grendel took AR mags too, until I?m actually got one!
Maybe I ended up with a lemon but, the feeding with mine is very finicky, overly sensitive to cartidge length, bullet type and bolt manipulation. The mag well fitment is also way more sloppy than your average typical AR, allowing the mag to rock back & forth, so maybe that is what exacerbates the problem.
I ended getting a Howa and the feeding between the two is night and day. Having said that, the Howa has its own set of issues but, they were easily corrected with after market parts. Haven?t shot the Ruger since................just saying.
YMMV.
Edited: I’ll add that I also have the “Ranch” in 5.56 with AR mags and it works fine, feeds much better than the Grendel. So, must be a combination of the Grendel case length, shape and bullet type that is causing the issue. At least for me!
