Is anyone running this set up (223 AICS poly mag) in a bolt gun? The C.O.L is perfect for the length I want to load but I do not know if the feed ramps will allow the bigger case to feed flawlessly.

I looked into this as well on a 338 Spectre project. I couldn't get the wheels off the ground on the whole deal.

Wanted to try a 338 Spectre in an AICS as the 6.8 SPC bottom metal is proprietary to the 6.8 SPC.

Due to numerous reasons, it never materialized. And I wasnt willing to pay 700-800 bucks for a 6.8 SPC LTR and end up with no DBM.

I'd be interested to see what you come up with.

and 6.8 SPC cartridges need a 6.8 specific follower for the larger case,the .223 follower(AICS poly mags) won't work.just my .02cents,Goodshootin'

HS precision mags work! Cause they are a single stack, so no follower tweaks. Just a simple feed lip tweak. Just figured this out with the guys from HS. Haven't modded an aics mag yet....

Of course, I've also got a 6.8spc action, bottom metal, follower....the whole shebang.
