.300 WSM Accurate or Alpha mags in a short action AICS?

I run 300WSM mags from Accurate-Mag and tweak the lips so I can seat my 140JLK's out further for my .260 in my AICS chassis, work great.

I use alpha mags, they run fine, no tweaking necessary for me. There were a few complaints a while back about the 308 mags having problems feeding, but no such thing from their 300WSM mags.
I use the Alpha mags in my Mcrees chassis. So, your mileage may vary on an actual chassis from AICS, but thought I'd include my experience anyhow....
The two I have are super tight (their website used to say that they will be tight/have no play/etc, but I can't find it on there now). I went so far as to smack the catch on the mags with a hammer a few times so they would be easier to get in and out (and they are still tight). I use the Type 4s, which allow you to load out to like 2.965. The one problem that sometimes gets me is the round will slide forward in the magazine and get caught on the underside of the feed ramp. Again, their website states that w/o the spacer plate it can happen and you should have your action relieved to account for it (which is now on my list of things to get done... :/).
Otherwise, they feed and work just fine for me.
