I got to shoot my latest toy yesterday, and it shoots just fine (yaaay!). Only problem is the magazine messes up the 2nd round. Its a Savage 110, formerly a 7mm Rem Mag, now a 300 Win Mag. I never shot it when it was still a 7mm, so I don't know if it did it then also.
What happens: I load 3 rounds in the mag, the top round pops nearly out of the rifle when the bolt is going forward. At that point, the 2nd round is hung up in the magazine, with the bullet angled up and the belted bottom of the case is lodged about 1 shells depth into the magazine. Fire the top round, no problem. Work the bolt and eject the empty, run the bolt forward again, and the 2nd round doesn't feed because it's cock-eyed in the mag. Then I attempt to move the round into position in the mag and it just pops right out of the magazine; and about 1/3rd of the time, the bottom round would pop out also. Both magazine lips look the same, so I compared how they look to my 110 in .270, and the only differences I see with the feed lips is the 300 has a "cutout" in the rear of both lips for loading the belted case.
I bring this to you guys in hopes of NOT having to take it to a 'smith
Thanks for any help
