Impact 737r in 6mm Creedmoor...what mags should I use AW AICS?

[letzhunt]

Just purchased an Impact 737r and will be using Hawkins M5 bottom metal. For the 6mm creed should I run AW mags or AICS mags? If AICS should I get them with or without the binder plate? I don't know how long a 6mm creed will get loaded if shooting heavy bullets like a 115.

I am running the 115 berger for hunting load and the 110 Atip for competition load. Both fit perfectly in Magpul AICS pattern mags with a standard chambering with a small amount of room to spare.

Thanks. I'm not sure what the COAL capacity is on the Magpul. I imagine it's long as it is polymer not metal. Not sure

Get the no binder plate ones. Gives you a little more room for the longer bullets.

Thanks. I did read elsewhere that the MDT AICS were very proven. But also heard the AW are a bit shorter due to being a true double stack. Shooting off a bench with a 10 round mag even possible with either?

Yes sir!

I run MDT AICS mags. If you plan to run 115s get the ones without the binder plate. Those rounds get pretty long

OK sounds like the best plan is to go with MDT AICS without the binder plates and I'm all set. Thanks all!

Second the no binder plate option. They work just fine and allow you to get closer to the lands. They seem to feed just fine in 6cm.
