6GT feeding AICS vs AW (M5 inlet)

[jxb]

This question is specific to 6GT bolt action and with M5 inlet / bottom metal.

I'm seeing mixed reports on using AW vs AICS mags but posts are old so thought I'd try to get the current situation.

Tell us why you like one over the other, which mags work well and which not so much.

i am using the hawkins m5, with an arc cdg action. if feeds 6gt great with aw mags.
i have only tried the aw and a bobsled.

I use MDT 12 round mags and it feeds great. It doesn't care for their plastic mags.

Presume those are AICS as I didn't see where they offer AW, which one are you using, the 6 ARC ones or?

They’re AICS pattern, for 308 and Creedmoor.

ok thanks, yeah I saw that George said use 308 in either aics or aw, but also some folks saying they used 6arc mags which seemed a bit short based on specs so I wanted to ask.
