“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
Did you expect Hornady to say, “well we had some feeding issues, but we are going to provide it to SOF anyway”?? I’m looking at the reviews for the E-lander 24rd mag, widely regarded the best Grendel mag. Take a look at how many talk about binding, etc. When have you used a quality 5.56 mag and had binding??.

To me grendel mag issues are a myth. Myself, brother, and friends just have too many of them and never had an issue.
Instead I suspect the boltgun accuracy guys trying grendel for paper and building franken guns in search of accuracy. Without knowing much about ARs.
Where my grendels without magic smith pixie dust feed from pmags. Just proper m4 feedramps, etc.
The Valkyrie definitely left some horsepower on the table but only about 100fps. If they had blown out some of the taper like my Tac 6 and Tac 30(30 Herrett) and moved the should forward about .050 they could have gotten another 100fps out of it. My 5.56x42 wildcat will shoot a 80ELD at 3000 out of a 20" barrel. They should have concentrated on 75-90gr bullets.
Considering that the "DoD entity" using 6ARC has a standard rifle with a standard ammo loading, I'm guessing it wasn't all that hard to find a 6.5G mag that worked well. It's when you have infinite variations of rifles and ammo like you do in the civilian shooting market that mags become sort of an issue. That's why almost all info about Grendel mags is anecdotal -- what works for one fails for another, etc.

5 with no bulging. 10 with increasing bulging, but still seats and works. Beyond that, issues.
Feed angle is not optimal, but works in my grendels.
I just do it on the bench to save wear and tear on my grendel mags. Though the grendel mags are stainless body and quite tough.
