Gunsmithing converting AICS mags for 6mmbr feeding

[oldreliable45120]

Did a surch and came up with nothing. Is there anyone doing this. Would it be better to modify a 308 or 223 mag. Thanks.

I have that article already. Didn't go into too much info on mag work. I have a 1-14 twist and shoot 68 grainers and have a shorter OAL.

Like in the article this will only work with long heavy bullets seated out. If you try and use light weight bullets seated to specs they will not feed from the mag. The feed lips of the mag will drop the case before the bullet tip will start into the chamber.

Use a 223 aics mag. grind it open to 0.400, it'll work well. Ran 70gr ballistic tips out of my 6br that way as well as 107smk's. You'll get 7 in the mag.
