What once seemed like a good idea

[tiretrack]

I recently finished my 8 in 300 blk build. Runs fine, all good and I can use the pmags that I had already. So tonight I'm putting away my toys and realize that it would be way too easy to grab a magazine loaded with the wrong caliber in a rushed or low light situation. Potentially a very bad mistake.
So here's my question for ingo. How has anybody else handled this problem, different brand or texture mags? I currently have pmags and a few usgi loaded with 5.56. Also are there mags that work better for 300blk ,maybe hexmags or whichever?

Are you always going to be grabbing the same gun/caliber for any urgent situation? If so, maybe put all of the "other caliber" loaded mags in a box or bag and only leave out/quickly accessible the mags for your "goto" gun.

i use lancer mags for my 300 blk and pmags for the 5.56

Put colored tape on each mag

Stipple the pmags and put skateboard tape on the using mags of matching caliber. That way one caliber will have a different feel than the other,when grabbing in the dark.
