    I'm looking to hunt with my 6.5 Grendel AR. Is there a round limitation here in Alabama? In Utah, it was no more than 5 rounds, but it could be in a 30rnd magazine.

    Not sure on bama, but iirc Florida is 5 rounds. I found it on the FWC website, so I would start there. Hope it helps.

    From my understanding no magazine restrictions on private land, 10 round on WMAs.

    You must have only a five round magazine, you can't just put 5 rounds in a 30 round magazine

    You can use any capacity mag as long as it has been "permanently altered" to only accept 5 rds.
    I have found that the MagPul brand is the easiest to alter. I buy the 10 shot then alter them to 5.
    Also ASC carries 5 shot mags. --- SAWMAN
