My heavier gauge steel E-Lander 6.5 Grendel mags have been dropped numerous times and have not had the feed lips deformed or the bodies dented. The feed lips on the thinner CP and ASC mags being thinner gauge steel are more easily bent or dented. Ive tweaked the feed lips on one ASC 24 round mag to get it to function reliably. Many people will lower the front edge of 6.5 Grendel mags so cartridges dont snag on the lip. You can accomplish the same thing by adjusting the feed lips where the nose of the cartridge is presented at a higher angle and misses the top edge at the front of the magazine.
My E-Lander mags stack the cartridges pretty level considering the taper of the 6.5 Grendel brass case but my E-Lander mags havent needed the feed lips adjusted.
It helps if your willing to tinker with your 6.5 Grendel AR-15 and mags to get reliable functioning. Unfortunately not every home built 6.5 Grendel AR-15 runs 100% after assembly.
