Just like the title says, if I order 6.8 mags will they work for a 264 lbc and vice-versa? Can't be much difference is there?

I use ASC 6.5 GRENDEL magazines for all my 6.5 and 6.8 variants. Looking at mine I can't see any difference between the one 6.8 I have and the 6.5's. I believe JGS uses both designations in their ads for the same magazines.

My first 6.8 mags were all marked 6.5. I "think" the follower is a tad different, but they still work(or maybe they are just different color). I know in the beginning we had to tweak some of the lips a little to make them feed smoothly, but that was a few years ago. Lots of info on mags over at the 6.8 forum though.
 
Went to the bench one day with both the .223 and 6.8, but only had taken .223 magazines.
Shot several groups through the 6.8 with .223 mags with no problems.
The follower is different, but worked fine.
