[QUOTE="Elk Hunter 338, post: 3032301, member: 23509"] First off yes you should've ordered the Medium and they also should've told you that after clarifying what round you wanted, and secondly most actions with BDL cut are not set up to accept a DBM mag properly.. One major problem I have with all these guys making "custom" actions and custom bottom metal is they follow the mold of old and just build it to a frame that suites standard inlets and standard mags because its easy and makes them quick money .. instead of designing and building a actual "custom" product that actually works with no mods needed>... sorry for the rant!!! The action feed ramp will need a notch milled into it .. The nose of the round is hanging up up on the underside of the feed ramp because companies are working off of old ****. So we the consumer have to bubble gum their mistakes. This will get you full length use of your mag internally. (if this what is happening, from what I've seen it most likely is) Like mentioned above .. no worries about being away from lands as there is no set in stone "distance" that you "must" be from lands in order to obtain great ES and accuracy. accuracy is accuracy whether its .005 into the lands or .150" off makes no difference .. Myself and a few others that i trust a lot have found stupid accuracy and low single digit ES as far off as .175" with Berger bullets.. You will not loose barrel life because of jump.. you loose barrel because of heat. [B]again don't fear the jump[/B] [/QUOTE]
