      I'd offer to trade you pmags but I don't know if hexmags work well in Blackouts or not.

        The difference is in the followers. If you look at the pic below the outside mags are 5.56 and inner black one is 7.62x39R and the blue is 6.5 Grendel you can see two differences - there is a shelf on the 5.56 and the slope starts sooner. But the 7.62 and 6.5 work fine for 5.56 is going the other way that has problems. One can always buy replacement followers on-line - I've done so to rebuild worn out ones.

          Absolutely
          They will load and feed without issues

            I'm not buying the whole, "I accidentally bought the wrong mags" story. They don't make a mag exclusive to 300 blackout. They only make 5.56 mags that work with other cartridges. Straight from Hexmags website:

            CALIBERS:*.223/5.56x45mm, .300AAC Blackout, .458 SOCOM, .50 Beowulf and more

            Everything you need for your next trip to the range, outdoor adventure, or on duty.

                This is the correct answer.

                    As established above, the only good solution is to build another rifle

                      Mag-Pul makes AR mags labeled for .300 Blackout
                      Cost the same as the AR mags Their angle is something about the follower, but I've never had any issues with using .300 BLK in the standard AR mags.

                        Not trying to be a dick (although it seems to come naturally), if the OP had said Magpul I would've gone to Magpul's website to see what the OP was talking about. They didn't. They said Hexmag. Based on the topic of this thread, Magpul is irrelevant.
