I am building a 22-250 upper for my aero m5 lower. From what I have been reading the 308 pmags will work if you don’t load many in the magazine. Has anyone had any experience with this? I will be using my thermal scope on it and suppressor. Hopefully it won’t be a single shot! I have a 5.2 oz buffer and orange spring and will have an adjustable gas block.

Unless it has to be 22-250, 22Creedmoor makes more sense
Yes. 22-CM is almost exactly the same as the 22-250 AI. The straight wall case works better in an AR. I think you can fire form 22-250 brass into 22CM.
Well, this sucks. You're learning why nobody makes an ar10 in 22-250. I've been there. I know your pain. That round feeds like garbage when you have more than 4 or 5 rounds in the magazine. A couple quick spins with a reamer and it's a 22 creedmoor, then you can run 25 round mags without a malfunction caused by the ammo
I got it today and shot it just before dark. I didn’t try more than 4 in my 20 rd 7.62 pmags. It is a 20” barrel, rifle length with .093 gas port. I have an adjustable gas block that I will probably need to run the suppressor. I will be happy with 4-5 rounds, the coyotes run off by then anyway. I can keep more mags in my pocket. It cycles great and I am happy with the accuracy. My Winchester model 70 22-250 doesn’t hold any more.

Bear creek arsenal makes 22-250 uppers but only with 1/14 twist , I’d try one if it had a faster twist
22-250 with light bullets is gonna feed like ass… fast twist 22-250 AI or 22 creed for 75-88s.
You can fireform your 22-250 brass into 22-250 AI or 22 creedmore bass.
I would do a 22 creedmore I have a 6 creedmore gap 10 and if feeds flawlessly…with any type of ar10 mag.
