So Is there any advantage to using 300 bo mags as opposed to the standard 5.56 mags? I have several hundred of the gen 2 pmags so obviously im good with my 7 rifles lol. however now im seeing actual 300 bo mags is there any advantage to these other than the side says .300 instead of 5.56? writing doesnt matter to me because My 300s are fde and my 556 are black or od to keep em straight.

They supposedly have less feeding issues...
My opinion is, buy them IF you need them, not just because you have a .300 Blk.
I have several .300 blk ARs and 95% of the ammo that goes though them is 220 gr subs...
From everything I read, the 147 gr or the "lighter" stuff is just fine.
When you get to the heavier gr or maybe longer Projectile rounds, they start having feeding issues.
Myself, I've shot tons of 220 gr and not once had an issue with it.
All of mine were factory loads, not reloads.
I did pick up 10 or so .300 Blk Pmags, because of well, Marketing. I have them if needed, but haven't yet.
I do as a personal preference and precaution, either put red tape or those rubber (bracelet looking) bands with .300 Blk embossed into them, around mags loaded with .300 blk and try not to have both .300 blk and 5.56 out at the same time.
JMPO, But, I say, If you are shooting .300 blk in standard Magpul mags and not noticing any issues, keep doing what your doing.
Or maybe just pick up a 10Pk for the hell of it.
