6.5 Swede build- dbm options?

[mpwolf]

Got a buddy building a swede on a Zermatt SR3. The vendor is recommending Hs Precision mags, but I'm wondering how much massaging need to be done to a standard LA AICS mag to make it feed 6.5x55?

The "problem" with the Sweede is case taper. It won't stack well. And since it is an intermediate length cartridge, an LA AICS might be a bit too much space...

I have a 6.5x55 Swede built on a 700 action using AICS 300 Win Mag mags, the mag lips need to be moved in. No problems feeding, and I can seat my bullets out more for the longer barrel throat.
