[QUOTE="nvschütze, post: 1802888, member: 110896"] My target rifle was originally a 300WSM in a long action. Feeding from the magazine was a no-go; the round flopped-around too much. I put a hi-score single-shot follower into the magazine and never had that problem again. Until I figgered-out that I had to space the mouth of the resizing die 0.0025" off the shell holder, I was constantly getting the bolt to close but the firing pin would repeatedly fail to reach the primer. Problem was the shoulder was too far down the case to get a tiny bit of crush fit on a closed bolt. Once I knew about the spacing, I was getting consistent ignitions. I eventually designed a long-action mildcat and had the Krieger barrel replaced with a Hart, and my groups remarkably improved. [/QUOTE]
