OK. So....
I tried this with a 17 round Alexander Arms mag.
Loaded it with 5.56
Works fine. Except... I wouldn't trust it.
Some of the rounds end up not "captured" at the top of the mag. They just sit there "loose" waiting to be picked up by the bolt. Which it does, but.. it's kinda like a semi-auto single load scenario. Probably not reliable anywhere but on a bench.
