Does 6gt require a mag with a binder plate

[Andrew863]

I'm about to order a barrel and I'm trying to decide to stick with 6cm or go to GT. I don't have any issues with cm and I'm running 2924 but I would like to slow down to 2800-2850. With that said my current mags don't have a binder plate and I want to know if that is something else I'll have to buy if I go GT.

6GT was designed to be used in standard AICS mags, so you can use your 6mm Creedmoor mags as is.

nope thats one of the good things about it, works great in just about any old magazine.

I’ve cycled about 50 rounds of 22gt through my standard 308 mdt mags without a binder plate and haven’t had any issues thus far.

It is hit and miss, although usually more hit than miss (just not 100% for everyone). Adding that the AICS magazines tend to work even better than the double stack stuff. For example: I have two AI AT/AT-X magazines with different followers, and both will nose dive 6GT rounds about 5-10% of the time in my AT-X.

My work-around at the moment is to just load the rounds forward in the magazine. It seems to work fine (so far) from static positions, but I'm pretty sure that it isn't a solid fix once I start running around and letting the rounds move inside the magazine. Neither magazine has ever had a hiccup with 6 or 6.5 CM.
