The few mags that I will be trying are ASC 5 & 10 rounds. I figure if there are any issues it will probably just be that the feed lips need tweaked or the front of the mag might need a little filing.

All I'm shooting is ASC's in various 6.8's. They are running perfectly with no tweaking. I even run the same ones in my LBC's.

I use CProducts and don't worry about it.
Hang around the 6.8 forum for awhile and they will have you convinced that you need PRI mags so you can load to over 2.3". You just gotta load long so you can get close to the lands and stuff more powder in the brass in an attempt to turn your 6.8 SPC II into a .270 Winchester. That extra 0.04" will make all the difference.
Me, I load to 2.260" max so it will fit into any mag made.

I'm of the firm opinion that you can never have enough magazines. I have at least 25 ar-15 mags and when my 6.8 is finished will stock up.

The ribs are different. You can usually get three 6.8 rounds in a 5.56 before it jams.

Robert,
I see you are reviving all the 6.8 threads. Did you ever take the plunge and get one?

Guilty! LOL
Bought an upper last fall at a gun show. Haven't had time to fiddle with it at all yet. Was actually reviving these threads for a friend at work who is about to get one.
The only things I need, (like everyone else!) is more time and money! LOL

That is a danged good buy. I am conflicted as to whether to trade my 6.8 off or not, or I'd be jumping on a couple of those mags at least. I may anyway.

These magazines have a very poor rating

There is no downside when you load to SAAMI spec length. The problem is some of the guys on the 6.8 board like to load long in an effort to turn the 6.8 into a semi-auto .270. Apparently the 4:1 rule for volume:velocity increase is suspended in the 6.8 and increasing the cartridge overall length from 2.260" to 2.3" makes all the difference.

You hit the nail on the head. Going from SAAMI to Spec 2 is like going from a 30/30 to a 300 Weatherby.
