[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1430284, member: 2736"] Having built many short mags and super short mags they have all had one thing in common, feeding problems. Some don't but the majority do. The short, fat design doesn't lend itself to trouble free feeding like the longer body cartridges and can benefit from alternative forms of feed systems. Single stack feeding, resolves these problems and doing away with stagger feeding is always a cure for these type of cartridges. The single stack/feed system holds the cartridge centered and can be adjusted to control the loaded round until the bullet has entered the chamber, making feeding very dependable and trouble free. I will give up the extra capacity of one more cartridge for dependable, trouble free feeding. The ARs are very finicky feeders normally and it doesn't surprise me that they don't do well with short mags. (I have not built a short mag on an AR platform) but if I did I would go with a single feed type system. Also, the Improved designs Like the 40o shoulder don't lend themselves to good feeding in an AR normally without modifying the feed system. The short mags and the super short mags are great cartridges for there purpose and uses, and can be very accurate if set up correctly. They offer a lot of power in a compact cartridge. I have three of them and would not take for any of them. One is a 223 WSSM One is a 7 WSM and one is a 338 RCM. (I Think I am covered in the short mags categorys). Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
