| Do they come in 6.8 SPC yet? |
For any Company to make a profit from AR Mags, they need to be able to sell a really big bunch of them. I don't see this with any Ammo. other then the .223/5.56. Now if a Company just is looking to get into expanding their market, taking some loss upfront could pay off down the road.

Sorry, we do not have plans to offer an M16-compatible PMAG in any other calibers besides 5.56x45 NATO (.223 Remington) at this time, including the 6.8 x 43 mm SPC or 6.5 Grendel. The primary reason for this is due to the limited physical space inside of the M16 magazine well. In order to accommodate the increased case diameter of these cartridges, and the subsequent widening of the staggered cartridge stack, the walls of the magazine body must be dramatically thinned. This is not conducive to a robust polymer magazine design. Additionally, we recommend against using 6.8 x 43 mm SPC or 6.5 Grendel cartridges in the PMAG as these larger cartridges will not load or feed correctly from the PMAG.
