Recommended Magzines for 6.5 Creedmoore (XLR element magnesium chassis + TL3 short action)

[harry_x1]

I just assembled a new 6.5 creedmoor for hunting and match shooting. It has XLR element magnesium chassis with a Zermatt Arms TL3 short action. I am looking for recommended magzines that can work in this set up (minimum 10 round capacity). XLR guys told me to use AICS pattern mags...but looking for recos from experienced folks who have used this kind of chassis system. Thanks for your time and assistance !

According to the Element web site: "Magazine Type: The Element 4.0 chassis system Utilizes AICS pattern magazines.".

Why not use an AW mag with the TL3?

MDT has 10 round polymer AICS mags. It's what I use and I have never had an issue.

That's your answer. AICS mags. Many companies make them. I would stick with steel mags as you get a longer OAL than polymer generally. AI, MDT, XLR etc.

I used the AICS pattern 10 round mags from MDT #102917 with my Impact 737R and XLR Element 4.0 and chambered in 6.5CM.

XLR just announced an adjustable magazine catch for the element chassis. You may want to pick one up as that would make it a bit easier to get the perfect fit on your magazines.

Shouldn't need that for a centerfire but will be nice for rimfires.
