Cammenga ez mag and 300 whisper

In these days of hi-cap mag's eventual uncertainty, I got my self a Cammenga ez mag. They run about $30, which was high, but lately I have seen P-mags going for that, so what the hey? I dont know about you guys, but while I can get 30 rounds of 300 whisper in a Pmag, its kind of a pain; they rounds get sluggish as it nears full, and it just does not inspire confidence.

A 20 round EZ mag was announced a couple days ago:


I watched the EZ mag videos and was impressed, and it seemed like 300 would be a great match. Before I bought one, I emailed customer service at cammenga.com, asking about 300 whisper usage with the mag. I was told by John Cammenga that since the mags actually allow a longer max overall length, they should work great.

Cammenga Website, w' videos and such


I took this pic showing the a tan Pmag, a GI alum, and the EZ mag:

You can see how the EZ has one less layer of metal. My rounds are Hornady 208 grain A-max, subsonic, length of 2.25"-- which is as long as I can go in the pmags. The EZ mag should allow 2.30" easy.

The EZ mag is a little longer than a GI mag, shown on the bottom here:


Loading is very easy, pull the front of the mag down like so:


You have easy access to the mag:


Drop the rounds in, 2 at a time works best:


Till its full:


Then push the front part back up:


Then you are ready to rock and roll. The follower stays locked down until fully closed.

Also, you can unload the mag by retracting the front and dumping it.

I shot all 30 rounds pretty rapidly yesterday, and it functions with out a hitch. I really like this mag for 300, and its going to be my primary mag. I will get another one, maybe a 20, next time I order something. If loading 30 rounds into your mags is a PITA, give the EZ mag a look.

These mags are still available, probably due to the higher price. I got mine at Rainier Arms
