I've asked this question to people at Winchester via mail and I haven't heard from them yet.
Basically, .350 Legend is a straightened version of .223 Rem/5.56 Nato. So when I firstly saw the cartridge being introduced, I thought it would stack pretty well into already mass-produced AR-15 mags.
However, the reality was different from what I thought and people say standard AR mags don't always work well with the newborn cartridge.
So I made a hypothesis(?) that it's due to .350 Legend being slightly thicker than .223 Rem/5.56 Nato at the base (0.39 vs 0.376" in diameter)-thicker base means less room for another cartridge to be stacked when there is at least one already in the mag.
What are your opinions on the mag compatibility problem and my hypothesis?
