I have about 16 E-Lander 6.5 Grendel mags and they all function reliably. They are a pain when new but after they are worn in mine do work. The easiest way I found to unload a new E-Lander mag is to use the thin plastic edge on a letter opener to push down on the next to top cartridge. This relieves the pressure on the top cartridge where you can push it out. I use a wooden ruler or yard stick to push down on the follower cycling the springs on new mags. Quickly cycling the springs multiple times quickens the wear in process.
When I get new E-Lander mags I load them to capacity and let them set loaded till I shoot them empty. I loaded them back up and leave them loaded till I shoot them empty next time I shoot a 6.5 Grendel.
Once worn in my E-Lander mags are as easy to use as my other mags. The C Products Defense Duramag twenty round 6.5 Grendel mags are very good mags. I bought two of the twenty round Duramags to test. I have about thirty 6.5 Grendel mags for the AR-15. The mags I use most are the fifteen round ASC, seventeen round E-Lander and twenty round Duramags.
I did fix one twenty four round E-Lander mag which had rough welds on the spine. The rough welds caused drag on the follower leading to failure to feed. I used a file to smooth out the welds and the mag has functioned normally since. The E-Lander mags are heavy gauge steel so they dont permit a long cartridge overall length. The heavy gauge steel bodies resist damage.
To my recollection I have two ten round E-Landers, eleven seventeen round and three twenty four round E-Lander 6.5 Grendel mags.
