    6.5 Grendel ; can I use 5.56 magazine in it?

    Will the magazines changeout or do I need to buy ones specific for the 6.5? On some sites I read you need to buy specific magazines for 6.5 grendel, some sites said you could use 5.56/223. What do the AR experts say on the GS!

    Better off getting new mags made for the Grendel, Feed lips and follower are different for the larger diameter

      I agree, you can use 5.56 mags, but it usually causes feed problems or bulging mags.

        You can get a few (probably <5 rounds) in a 5.56 mags but it will bulge the mags and feed reliability will be iffy.

          ASC mags as they are cheap and will let you load out to 2.29 inches COAL.
