Blaine. . . please use normal terms when discussing magazines.
Reading your post was like reading Chinese and translating it to English Seriously in 46 years I have never heard anyone call loading a magazine jamming it. I've never even heard a gangbanger That I represented in a criminal case call loading a magazine jamming it |

Huh. I guess we don't hang in the same circles. I have been contracting for some years now and while I can't remember when it first came about, I also can't remember not using it. I don't think I got it from the military though. But all the same I will keep the verbage a little more intuitive.

The primary test ammo for this magazine is the M855 5.56mm 62gr ball, green tip ammo from Lake City, and the nominal length of the feed path accommodates the standard round length. Steel case ammunition, due to the lacquer finish, has a high friction rate than brass, especially when used new, and coupled with the added weight of a full compliment of 60 rounds, the added accumulation of exhaust gas particulates in a used magazine, and the geometry of the magazine, steel case ammunition does feed less reliably that brass. Both case types should function however.

Ive used my 60 for a few months now. I've had a few hang ups. With steel case.
I used xm855 today with no hang ups. Seems to follow the consensus here. |

Guess I am not high speed enough. Anyway. Its confusing as hell. |

12 loads of 60 rounds through mine now. All WPA 55gr and no malfunctions. The thing is hard as hell to load after about the first 20 rounds go in. I assume this is when the follower splits?

Did anyone notice that SKD has the 100rd mags in stock?

Thanks for the heads up. I ordered a 100 from them & got a shipping confirm for today. Lets see what I get. I have a feeling I may get a 60 rounder.

SKD true to their word. They do have the 100's. And they are still in stock. I'll have a range report later in the week. I did load all 100rds. All loaded without issue. Fit into my AR fine. HEAVY though.

I had a 100 on back order with midway since sept, I called last week and canceled the order and then placed an order with SKD, got the mag yesterday. and the price was overall cheaper then midway's dealer price.
Loaded it up with some brown bear I also got yesterday, range trip is not till the 16th of june. |

Range report on the 100.
200rds 55gr Silverbear 100rds 62gr XM855 Not a single problem. Loaded & fired fine. USGI spoon & clips loaded fine. Got all 100 in using this method & by hand as well. I did some static shooting, some running, some side & kneeling. Used the mag as a bipod & put some weight on the mag, slow fire, rapid fire, & just putted along. I did have some keyholeing, likely from the silverbear ammo. Still wouldn't put my life on this mag though. Pretty useless I think for anything but a range toy. But so far it works fine. We'll see. Ammo costs prevent me from using it for a few months.
