Just talked to a Tech at Savage and was told that the Axis magazines are so cartridge specific that short cases cannot be cycled through the long action mags. If the cartridge head is the same size, why would they not cycle? I wouldn't think a shorter length would be a problem ie., a .308 or .257 Roberts in a .270/30-06 mag. since all of these have the same case head size. If this sounds stupid, please excuse my Mauser mind.
I would agree with you on that. Case length should not matter if the case is shorter.

Well, I have to call BS on that. I took a Savage 111 chambered in .270 Winchester and tore it apart just for the action. I put a CBI Chambered in 260 Remington on it (short action cartridge) swapped out the stock, and bottom metal (using the same exact magazine). Mine feeds better from the magazine then it does single loading it.
6.5 Creedmoor may have a feeding issue "maybe".
Depends on case taper and how high the nose is as it nears the chamber. A long mag may not feed a shorter cartridge correctly cause it is meant to tip the longer cartridge correctly. All depends on how long the feed lips are and the angles involved. You can always try one and see if it works.
do it
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
Or use the right magazine.....
