I will, I didn't realize these things wouldn't work with regular magazines, so am waiting until my E-Lander mags arrive. Hoping they work well.

Imagine my surprise at the mess I made stuffing 123g ELD Match rounds into a regular AR15 magazine as I do my 450BM and 458 SOCOM.

I accidentally brought some 5.56 ten round mags to the range once when I was intending to test some 6.5 Grendel hand loads. At first I thought I was screwed and would have to drive 45 minutes back home having wasted my time. Turns out 5 Grendel rounds would fit just fine in the ten round mags.

That is good to know, I only tried a 30 round mag and it was pretty easy to see as I was trying to get them out of the magazine there was something wrong. I'll have to try a 10 round mag today to see how it works.
