Thanks for reminding me to mention the increased overall length. The maximum length in the C-Products mags is approxfimately 2.280". The PRIs should allow for 2.300", and that's another reason to only use one mag type.....don't want ammo that I can't use in half my magazines.
It really needs to cool off some. I don't like working up my handloads in 90 plus degree heat, and the increased pressure and lack of barrel cooling (and sweat) the heat causes.
I received a couple 25 round PRI magazines a couple days ago. They're built to the same standard as the 15 round magazines and are the exact same length as the C-Products 25 rounders (and also USGI 30 round 5.56 magazines).
Last night I went to put some ammo I loaded with Remington 115 grain FMJs to 2.300" OAL into one of the PRI 25 round magazines. They went in, but there was heavy bullet tip drag along the front face of the magazine. It took conscience effort to keep the top couple rounds pressed all the way back against the rear of the magazine, and the 2nd or 3rd round in needed to be forcibly snapped down past the front face of the mag. They might function in this manner, but it's not worth the extra care needed to load them. I shortened them to 2.290", and at that length, they loaded in more easliy and should function 100%.
