So, I'd seen these for sale all over the net & I wondered... what happens if you drop it?

The video sorta answers that question & then some! You're right, they need to make these in 6.8. I just sent them an email asking if they had plans for 6.8 mags. I'll post up if they answer.

I have several of the mags. They work fine in my 223 but are not real reliable using them in my 458 SOCOM. They are great loading loose rounds in. I have not had any trouble with damage due to dropping.

Hey DD- do they fail to feed the .458? Is it the spring/follower or the feed lips or...?

Inquiring minds want to know. :wink:

And I think a .458 is my next upper. I like to make big holes. 8)

In the 458 they seem to load fine for the first 9 rounds. I have never been able to shoot a full mag without the last round jamming. I have tried only 2 rounds and the first one will load and the last one jams. Camber round and install mag and round jams. I have 4 of these mags and they all do it. I have no problems with any of my other brand mags. I don't have this problem with my 223.

Weird that only the last round hangs up. I wonder if it's the follower design that allows the to tilt. Or does it hang on the front of the mag coming out? I've heard that's sometimes a problem for the .458.

Mostly curious because I'm thinking a .458 is my next upper. Assuming I survive the beating I'm going to get when the Xtreme shows up. :lol:

I have modified the front of al the mags I use for the 458 to aleiviate any hangups, but mainly for unloading. Best I can tell it is a combination of follower design and a weak spring.
