[QUOTE="270 MKV, post: 705435, member: 52964"] Started putting things together last night. Snapped a few pics with my DumbPhone...not the best quality, but it at least gives an idea of the build. Also checked possible max COAL...with bullets .020 off, they will not fit in the mag, nor will a live round eject when it's that long. So, I for the time being, I will just load to mag length. I do have the option to lengthen the bolt slot to allow the bolt to travel further back. I also have the optionto remove the magazine spacer to allow a longer cartrige to fit in the magazine. Ran into another potential issue. The original barel had a feed ramp machined into it. This one does not and as such VLD bullets have a tendency to hit the lower part of the barrel and will not chamber. Factory Loads and Similarly loaded Nosler BT and AB loads can also hit, but the tendency is lower. I have tweaked the mag spring slightly to put more pressure on the front of the mag follower and less on the back. This has helped some, but it looks like I will have to cut a feed ramp into the barrel in order to make it bullet proof. [/QUOTE]
