| What magazines is everyone running in their 6.5 Grendel's. My build is almost complete and I need to acquire a few magazines. |

They all have ISMI springs which are miles better than the weak factory CS springs. My CP 15 rounders on the other hand... |

Can you buy followers and convert other hi-cap mags to 6.5? No, the ribs in the Grendel mags are different than in 5.56 mags, they are set differently because the case length is different and it is fatter. No one has been able to find a high cap mag that can be modified and will work consistently. |
