Same for .50AE and .50 Beowulf (though I hear you can jam 13 into a 30 rounded, will have to try when I go home

I've been able to do the same, but it's not 100% reliable with 11...especially in F/A.

Ask me how I know! [;)]

You can get 11ea .458 SOCOM rounds in some 30rd mags, but you won't normally be able to insert the mag with the bolt carrier in battery.

The 50AE and 440 CorBon use a follower that has slightly longer legs on it, so 20's hold 5, 30's hold 10, and 40's hold 14 rounds.
