Does anyone know if a 308 AI Magazine will work with 6.5 Creedmore?

[TheGerman]

Was curious if anyone had tried this as they are relatively close dimension wise being that the 6.5 is a necked down 308 parent cartridge and both are loaded to almost the same COAL.

Would the 5 round AI 308 magazines work for the 6.5 or are they too big/small/short, etc?

 

[Graham]

Yes

 

[ZombieMonkey]

Yes, they will work.

 

[TheGerman]

Awesome thanks.

Was thinking of converting an existing 308 into a 6.5 and wanted to see if this would work.

Magazine for what rifle? The magazines for a DPMS LR-308 and DPMS LR-65CM are the the same.

AI .308 mags work fine with in my 6.5 CM with a PTG Bottom Metal.

 

[Millionaire]

I am using them without any issues.

I'm no expert, but I think you can use AI SA mags for any caliber that uses a .473 bolt face and COAL of less than 2.880". I use them without issue for 260Rem and 6x47L.

Yes, they even run quite well.

I use them interchangeably between a 308 and 6.5CM. They work.

Can you run both the 5 round and the 10 round mags? I have a .22-250 that I can only use the 5 round mags with because of the taper on the case body. I am saving for a 6.5 CM.

Rifle is already built, but its a 308 and I am considering having it converted to a 6.5. It's a M24A2 long action Remington 700, trued, Rock Creek 1 in 10 24" barrel and has the Badger M24A2 bottom metal that takes 308 AI mags into a long action receiver. This is good news that the mag system and mags will work as I will pretty much just need to re-barell and have the chamber work done and everything else stays where it is.

I don't think it really matters to your original question...but the Badger M24 DBM takes AI AE Mk.1 magazines as opposed to AICS mags, correct?

Yes you can run the Creedmoor in both 5 and 10 round mags. I have been using the same mags since 2008 for my Creedmoor, .308 and .243. All work fine.

 

[Cascade_Sherpa]

I also have been interchanging the same 5 and 10 round ASICS mags for my .243AI, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .308. Zero issues.

 

[Maelstrom]

Thanks Rob01.

You using? I need SA for my ACIS 6.5 Creedmore . 5 to round mags are ok with me

Not familiar with that setup. The gun is a 700 long action but using short action mags???

AI AICS mags. There are other options out there now from MDT, Magpul and others that work in AICS DBMs.

Thank you

So disappointed with the German.
