[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1208597, member: 24284"] The VZ24 has a mag that's too short for magazine feed. The .280 Rem. rounds should NOT chamber easily. You should have to apply moderate pressure to the bolt handle to completely close the bolt. When fire forming to Ackley Improved the parent cartridge (in this case .280 Rem) should be "trapped" between the bolt face and the neck/shoulder junction in the chamber. It should take some effort to close the bolt. If this condition is not met, you will have problems like you pictured. I hope your 'gunsmith' can show you better than I can explain it. [/QUOTE]
