Go put 20 rounds in an AR mag of 5.56, and put about that many in a Grendel mag, and tell me it takes the same force to push-feed a round out by hand. It's night and day. Both guns run the same buffer spring. So yes, it matters.
Sorry to tell you but I haven't seen anyone post on this board in the last 24 hours that they are having a feeding issue due to a so called case design problem.
I can do you better I can put 26 rounds of each in steel body ar15 mags. And nope they come out as easly as the next.
No mag material used does not matter. Steel mag bodies are better in all ways compared to aluminium. Case in point does anybody make a aluminium mag except 556 mags? To my knowledge if you ask someone that runs 556 what mags they like best they are going to say polymer first, steel second and aluminum last. If they even would entertain useing a aluminium mag.
Thus same argument has been run for years and years by 6.8 guys and it was proven time and time again to be false.
So I will say again if your having feeding issues. It's because of your mags are your lower is out of spec some how.
I have run every 6.5 grendel mag on the market and the only mags that gave me trouble were elanders. And yea elanders in my book are garbage. Asc/arstoner are servicable, CPD is the best of the metal grendel mags.
Bottom line is your assumption is wrong and just that a assumption on what's causing your issue.
Provide me 5 links that have data that is less then 5 years old showing imperial data to prove otherwise that the grendel case design makes it harder for the bcg to strip a round.
