[QUOTE="Gunpoor, post: 629261, member: 8358"] Place the barreled action muzzle up on a non-marring surface with the barrel pointing slightly away from you and the mag facing you. Then take a heavy rubber mallet and hit the end of the mag box so that it will flex and come out of the tab slots. I have done this and it is crude but effective. I tried several different ways to remove mine and someone told me of this method and it works. You can use this method to re-install the mag also. BTW, what you have decribed sounds more like the COAL of your cartridges is excessive for what your magazine box will accomodate, or am I missing something? My Savage model 111 in 270Win wouldn't feed correctly when I bought it used and I checked the mag box and somebody had done a bubba treatment to the feed lips of the mag, and I am assuming tried to correct the non-feeding issue. I replaced the mag with a new one from Brownell's and reduced the angle of the feed ramp in the action, and for a finale I stoned the follower fluting so that the cartridges would snug up more under the lefthand feed lips better and , voila, at works like it was supposed to. What I am trying to say with so many words is that I would caution you about altering the feed lips of your magazine because it can make the situation worse. [/QUOTE]
