[QUOTE="Shane Lindsey, post: 1912987, member: 25831"] Insert a magazine in it and see if there is clearance from the mag to the feed ramp. I had a similar problem on a Rem 308. Manners mini chassis DBM. Magazine is an Accurate Mag. The front of the mag goes slightly under the feed ramp And will not allow the round up when you cycle the bolt. Depending on the magazine you have they do not all have same outer length. InI loaded factory ammo it cycled, but when I did my loads (longer oal) they would come up below the feed ramp and not clear it. To correct it, I took a dremmel and cut a notch until it would cycle. Then polished the new cut a bit. Not pretty but works. If you look at the first pic you can see where the front of the mag is under the feed ramp. Here is how it turned out with mag and without mag inserted. Hope this helps. [ATTACH type="full"]196245[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]196246[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
