Well so far ive done 2 of the mamba 10 round mags and they both feed well with 75 eldms, I dont know if you could go alot more without running into follower issues but so far these feed. Will put them to the test beating the dog crap out of them coyote hunting soon.

Shot my first match with the mambas this weekend... plagued with major feeding issues the whole thing seems like the follower binds up when your running it hard causing failures... back to the drawing board

That sucks.

I thought the mamba mags were the answer for 10 rounders.

Hope you get it sorted out.

That’s interesting, we all used mamba mags at S2H and were shooting thousands of rounds of 223 collectively with the mamba mags and I don’t recall a single issue in those 5 days. I have two of my own that have been flawless.

Makes me wonder if you got a bad one? Is it a factory Tikka?

I think its me modifying them that caused it I need to keep messing with them but it seemed when I ran them hard the follower got cockeyed. I think I can put a spacer on the follower so it can't happen. I ran 200 rounds through them prior to the match and didnt have a single missed so I had high hopes as well

Have you tried any of the ndr mags. They have been great in my 223, but Ive just used them for hunting and at my range.

I haven't i have a 3 rounder that I have ran a ton of rounds through without fail for range and hunting, just needed something more for this and thought I had it dialed
