Every WSM I have owned exhibited this exact problem. I had a 270, 7mm and 300, all of which were factory guns. Not one would ever accept a .002” bump. They all required a minimum of .008” and a few required more. I tried every conceivable type of die and manufacturer. Never could get the results...

There is an inherent issue with a lot of the 80% LR308 type lowers. I believe it has to do with how the mags are held in the lower. I think they are held too low. I saw the exact thing on a friends build. It would double feed constantly. He tried an adjustable gas block, buffer and spring...

Thanks for all of the info. None of it was boring and all of it was useful. I will find the mentioned DVD's and watch again and again!
Any other thoughts are welcome.
If anyone lives nearby and is able to show me "hands on" that would be great. I understand if it's a one man game...
