Here's the description cut and pasted.

The new and improved AR-Stoner magazine for the 450 Bushmaster features a stronger stainless steel body for longer service life than the typical standard aluminum bodied magazine. The enhanced single shot anti-tilt follower and chrome silicon spring provide reliable feeding even after extended storage and use. Made in the USA to military specifications, the AR-Stoner magazine can be counted on at the range or in the field.
Technical Information
Caliber: 450 Bushmaster
Capacity: 9 rounds
Body: Stainless Steel

I ordered 2 of these AR Stoner 9rd mags and tried one out. I was very disappointed with the results. The one I tried will only hold 6rds before the rounds start pointing up out of the mag at a 20 degree angle. I'm sending these back for a refund, especially after reading the reviews on Midway site.

Yes. Absolutely. I've been seeing the same exact reviews over on FB.

Yep, those rounds in the picture above are being held way too high. The 450b wants the top round to be held just a few degrees "nose up" to feed properly. If the top round is exactly level, or too far up (as it looks here) nothing good will result. There is a previous discussion on the forum here about how to adjust the feed lips for proper reliability, if you want to try the search.

I've seen a few bad posts about Stoner mags. And in other calibers too.

I've got Stoner mags for my 5.56 and my 6.5 Grendel. They work great. But this new 450B mag, well it appears that someone didn't get the specs right on the feed lips. If I'm not mistaken, this is AR Stoners first attempt at 450 Bushmaster mags, so instead of trying to "mod" them, send them back. That's the only message that Distributors and AR Stoner alike will understand.
