Good day all!

I've always had good luck with Butler Creek steel lips mags, maybe better luck than most.
I'm just wondering if anybody has experience with running the 30 round promag Rem 597 magazine in a 10/22 with an adapter.
Would I just be spending $100+ on a headache? Like what happened with my old (I think it was GSG) 110 round drum, unreliable to the point of uselessness.

Thanks!
 
The one I use has an SBI adapter that stays on it. Mostly feeds/runs fine. Loading method is very easy (clever) sometimes the last round or two don't get high enough for the bolt to catch. Like all high capacity mags (IMHO) the 30 rd. takes at least as long as loading 3 x 10rd., feels longer. SO, fun to empty it a couple of times, then we'd mostly reload the 10-rounders and run those.

They are relatively heavy when loaded. Makes me wonder about the even higher capacity drum they made. (still make?)
