Does anyone have experience feeding a 6.5 prc through a 3.715 magazine? Which one feeds the best? MDT has 30-06, 300wm, and 338LM mags at this length.

I've tried MDT 30-06 and 300wm mags but it kept nose diving. I found two solutions:

Hawkins Hunter DBM + Mag Hunter magazine + Hawkins spacer kit : https://hawkinsprecision.com/hawkins-precision-hunter-magazines/

MDT 300wm + LRI Rifles space kit : https://www.longriflesinc.com/colle...agazine-filler-block-for-sa-magnum-cartridges

I went the Hawkins route.
