aam Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 I’ve just been asked a question by one of the club members which I do not have an answer to. Do you know if the AW magazines can be used with magnum sized (SAUM family) cartridges? Do the feed lips need adjusting or can they just be used as is?

No i deer Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Off the top of my head I'd say no.. AI mag is about 2.9 inches internal.. I think my saum loaded with a 184gr hybrid is 3.1 inches. Mine run in a 300wm magazine and I've put a spacer at the back so the cartridge sit more forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 AICS Mags will run 7MM WSm Cartridges - Ive built several custom rifles in this cartridge wiung Short Action Magnum bolt face The reamer is however specifically throated a little short, but still allows 168-180 class bullets to be used If one removed the strengthener plate and re welds you have another .080" - .095" to play with to "follow" throat erosion....(should you wish to) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Its not the feed lips that will be the issue in a double stack AW mag...its the follower. Its cut for a 308 width case. The saum is fatter. You may get 2-3 in and feed, but it will always be dodgy. Altering the follower would work The AW is longer internally than the AICS.
