      You need to reload 6.8 or you'll go broke feeding that thing.
      Also, when you start reloading, you'll be lengthening the rounds. So you'll want to get some mags with the front cut down to accommodate the extra length.
      I'll put up a link in a couple of hours, when I get on a PC.

        Here you go.
        A little explanation from the makers:

        Well you gents said you would like to see some so here they are.
        They are not cheap however they were professionally modified and are the highest quality and strongest magazines available.
        You can find them under the parts and accessories tab on our website at Cavity Back Bullets.

        They allow loading out to 2.36 in a standard AR15 magazine well.
        They will work on the 6.8 SPC or any of the cartridges based off it.
        There is a more detailed explanation on the site.
        Testing has been extensive and they are reliable.
        The supply is limited although if there is a demand we will keep them available.

        Web Page:
        COPPER BULLETS COPPER PROJECTILES HUNTING BULLETS NONLEAD PROJECTILES AMMO AMMUNITION


        Scroll towards the middle of the page (second row of mags).
        They have modified mags for the 6.8 SPCII and for .223/5.56.

        I can attest to the fact that the modified 6.8 mags work great!
        I may buy some .223/5.56 modified mags if I end up chasing the OAL on those rounds as well.

          Thanks for the info, the prices is a bit high on those mags, but I 'm going to buy one to try it out. I'm going to start looking into reloading, I've been thinking about it for a while.

            OP I reload to normal length and use normal mags with no problem. I use the 95 gr TTSX.

              I have stock 6.8 mags that I use also.
              I'm loading 110g and 130g Sierra match king, Hornady, Speer, and Nosler Accubond.
              I'm finding better accuracy as the charge increases. That's why I bought a couple of the cut front mags.
              All factory loads will go through a normal 6.8 mag.
