Sorry for the late pics about the 'long ogive' magazine.
I am done with version 1 and I am going for version 2.
Reliability is not 100% there but now I need what I need todo to make it faster and better. One thing I am learning is that building a new magazine is not as simple as it seems at first. Like many other things, I guess! LOL!!!
The idea is to put both .223 80gr and 6mm 100gr+ bulltes and seat them as far as we can for long range shooting and have them feed reliably w/o need for single feed. For that we need to use the center rib in the mag as some other modifications. So far the prototype looks horrible but functional nevertheless.
These are some load we want to be able to feed from a magazine:
From left to right...
- 6x45 6mm 85gr Sierra GK.
- .233 REM 55gr FMJ reload.
- 6x45 6mm 105gr Hornady Amax
- 6x45 6mm 100gr Sierra SP hunting round.
I could not find the 77gr VLDs I had in .223 but you get the idea....
This is the first prototype magazine after all the work on it...

Sorry about the picture quality, the phone is not the best. I promise
better quality with 'long ogive' magazine version 2.0.
NExt time I promise some range pics and/or videos when testing
this in real fire mode.
Cheers.
