The 6 CM will be using a Asics type mag. PMAG brand does have two different followers. If I remember right one colored follower is designed around the creedmoor and the other color follower is designed around a 308 be sure and check that you got that correct I'm sure you can find it on the internet. I can't remember which way for sure I think Brown is designed for the creedmoor but I could have it backwards. And also try feeding one less bullet than a full mag. I converted a 22-250 over to a PMAG stock and Asics type mag with the brown follower. It feeds four flawlessly but if you load it with five the first one does not feed reliably. The angle of the follower I think I know how to fix it but I have not got to it yet.
In the description here: https://magpul.com/firearm-accessories/pmags/bolt-action/pmag-5-762-ac.html?mp_global_color=118

From Magpul's site:
The original PMAG 5 7.62 AC magazine, identified by its green lock plate and follower, was optimized for the .308 Winchester based family of cartridges and is compatible with short action AICS-spec bottom metal, to include the Bolt Action Magazine Well for the Hunter 700 Stock, and performed well with most non-.308 based cartridges in nearly all applications. Some three lug bolt action rifle platforms, such as the Ruger American Rifle®, presented some occasional feeding concerns when used with the standard green follower PMAG 5 7.62 AC magazine. We have made an inline change to a new design of spring and follower. The revised PMAG 5 7.62 AC magazine, easily identified with its brown lock plate and follower, has been optimized to ensure complete Magpul reliability with a broad range of calibers in the Ruger American Rifle® and other 3-lug bolt designs, while maintaining or improving the proven Magpul reliability in Remington® 700 footprint platforms and other 2-lug bolt action designs. For the Hunter American stock, we recommend using only the new, brown follower magazines, in calibers like 6.5 Creedmoor. All other actions, and the Ruger in .308, can use either version interchangeably.
Thanks

I just called MAGPUL and the brown follower is designed for the 6.5 CM but still have feeding issues with the Ruger American. He said it would not work for the Ruger American.
