The Faxon barrel is shooting well enough with Hornady Black that I'm putting it on the back burner for load development. The CMMG mag that I have looks like it might allow almost 2.30". Likewise, the SS Duramags (556 and 350L) that I have look to have the same internal lenght. IF I were to "window" one of these mags, OAL might be closer to 2.35". Oddly, other than caliber marking and follower color, I don't really see any difference in the feed lips or followers in any of these magazines.
The Howa is here, and has a longer mag length. Hornady Black is being used for break-in, and seemed to shoot pretty well from the start, and now at 50 rounds. I have 75gr VMax, 90gr ELDX, and 90gr TGKs, but should get some Speer 85gr BTs for inexpensive shooting out to 300.
