I bought 5 Lancer L5 mags (3) 30 rds (2) 20 rounds
I bought them for using with my 300blk
Twice I have had rounds pop out of the magazine with handling
I fact I had 2 rounds pop loose when seating the magazine on an open
bolt at the range today (one fell out the ejection port, the other round ended
up on top of the bolt (which would have been an over ride if the bolt had
gone forward.

anybody else experience this??

Did the issue happen with just one of the mags or different mags. You said you purchased multiples.

The same thing happened to me during an EAG course. I contacted Lancer and they were very cool about swapping them out for the new version if I sent them in (at my expense).  When I got the new ones I immediately sold them and bought more PMags as I had never had an issue with them.

For me I will just use the L5 mags for my .458SOCOM and use my C.Products Mags for my 300blk

It has happened to me as well with 300 BLK subs. They are nose heavy, not much to be done about it.

I have 5 - 20 round Lancer Magazines.  I have only shot 690 rounds of 300 Blk with them, but have had no issues so far.

Once I seated the mag and all the rounds stayed in They worked great.

Same experience for  me.
The subs are heavy for the length of the feed lips. You can check the effect on mags by loading one up & flicking your wrist.
Some of the time one will pop up. It doesn't happen to me with light supers.
