I just sent 3 rifles off to the long rifles group buy. One to become a 204, a 22-250 and a 243ackley improved. I plan on running these all in manners mini chassis. I bought a 10 round 223 accurate mag thinking that it would work for the 204 but its a no go without some major modifications. That got me thinking about the other two caliber a also. What mags would be the best to use for reliable feeding for each of the mentioned calibers. I have done searches and been reading to the point my head hurts and I am no closer to an answer now than before. So you guys in the know or maybe someone is running one of these calibers in a minichassis which mags should it get. Alpha (type 1 or 2), accurate mags, aics?????????? Please advise. Thanks
Gunsmithing Which mags do I need?????? Please help

AM don't make a 223 mag that I know of. You will need to use and probably have AI 223 mags, mod them if/as needed. The 22-250 and 243 will work in AI/AM mags
If I remember correctly, the 22-250 and 243 are compatible with 308 mags since they are in the same family. I can't imagine the 204 not working in a 223 mag. A 204 AR platform uses standard AR 223 mag with zero modifications. I was under the impression that the 204 Ruger was basically a necked down 223.
^^^ 204 is a 222 Rem Mag necked down. 204 case is like .09" longer than 223. 223 necked down to 20 cal is 20 tactical or vartarg or somthin like that.
