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

I've had one of the 30 round EZmags for over a year now, used a few times for .223 at the range. I've honestly never given a thought to using it for .300, thanks for the idea.

+1, I bought one as whim for trying in 223, I use 20 round UGSI for my whisper so now I'll throw it in my whisper kit and try it there.

Is there more clearance for the bullet at the front indent on the mag?
