The straight 20s are as big as I go for hunting anything bigger just gets in the way.

they are only a little longer than the 10 round but don't get in the way with my arm in prone a little more to grip when changing mags

I do. I don't like trying to carry the longer mags. I carry one in the rifle and one in my pocket.
Only once did I wish I had more than 10 shots, but I don't get 5 coyotes in at once very often. I would agree except I have 2 extra in my pocket

X2 on this. I carry 20s for both hunting and target shooting. PS If you ever see me packing 30s better grab yours too, things done gone south and I felt 20 was not enough.

I have to use 5 rd. clips when deer hunting. It doesn't matter the caliber. I have yet to use my AR or my Mini 14 Ruger for deer.

I also learned the hard way don't load them full down load by at least one got up in the tree stand one morning and put mag in and try and release it easy I can tell there is a deer in the dark 50 yards out form my stand bedded down. had a full mag , BCG hung up on the first round then after what seemed like forever but was probably only 20 seconds it slammed forward deer got up and moved in the dark , luckily not too far and come fist light he was circling behind me. don't load any ar mags full any more max of 19 in a 20 , 29 in a 30

I've seen 25 rd mags for AR-10's but never a 30 rd one... Does anyone actually make a 30 rd. 308/7.62 mag?
EDIT: Yes, they make one. I looked months ago and couldn't even find one... This time I found several.

I like the 10 round magazines when using a Bog Pod with the Death Grip clamp. The 10 rounder is just the right size to get the clamp on the magazine well. Provides a square and balanced pivot point for the rifle and adds some height if needed. I have a 5 round mags for scope tuning/ hunting. 30 mags are for fun steel target blasting. Can a 5 rd magazine be any shorter than a 10 rd magazine? The 10 is 3-5/8" tall. Only 7/8" sticks out of the magazine well.

Thanks Pete... I went and looked after my post and found some. Funny thing is a while back I searched and searched and could only find 25's.
After my experience with 40 rounders on AR 15 I came to the conclusion that more doesn't necessarily equate to better.

Can you elaborate on the 40 rounder problems? I have never used them, but have a few 40s just cause I can.
