What is the max size of pellet/slug that can fit in a bt65 magazine? I am thinking of buying the Gmax no11 53gr slugs but they are like 12.8mm are they too big? Can I atleast single load them? What is the size limit of this magazine?
Do big slugs fit in BT65 magazine?

I would doubt that they will.
It is big problem for us casters that the manufactures put such short magazines in their guns.
I have 2 kral inspired guns, a Benjamin Kratos that has a way to short magazine a Kral Bighorn The Kratos uses a marauder length mag and has to a use a Singleshot 9tray. The Bighorn uses a longer magazine that will easily take the MPMolds 47 and 44 grain, @ .408 inch long .25 cal bullets, but not the 57 grain bullets that my old Arsenal mood threw. I used it through the magazine on a Seneca /Sumatra 2500 carbine, it had a rotary 6 shot magazine
The Bighorn is tuned for 2 -10 shot magazines in the low 83 fpe, to make sure the magazine/slugs would fit, I ordered the Kral magazine to check. So you might end up having Roto do that.
The Benjamin Bulldog is the King of green slug magazines, It will take some, there are variations of the mold, but the Lyman 458429 Would dst at 178 grains of pure lead and that slug is .75 inches. And when properly set up it throws them as fast as a 4”S&W. It shoots NOE HP’s at 890 fps.
Good luck on your quest,

Also make sure you use soft alloy, pure lead or 40-1 and slug your barrel, you want your sized bullets to be .001 over groove diameter, never ever under groove diameter. Undersized bullets will never utilize their full potential.
