[QUOTE="bill123, post: 2581599, member: 69116"] I’ve found that most magazines benefit from “tuning “. There are some decent you tube videos. It’s generally about 4 things. Smoothing the bottom edges of the feed lips, changing the width of the feed lip openings, altering spring tension and changing the fore and aft amount of spring tension. If I’m understanding correctly, you have 2 problems. 1, the tip of the bullet noses up as you feed the cartridge forward and 2, the bolt passes over the top of the cartridge without contacting the case base. It’s a bit hard to diagnose without seeing but it sounds like you have 2 things to fix. The feed lip opening at the aft end is too narrow and doesn’t allow the case to sit high enough to allow thebolt to engage enough of the case base. Also, the feed lip space at the front is too wide and allowing the bullet to nose up too soon. You may have too much spring tension in general as well. I’d start by expanding the feed lip space at the aft end. A little goes a long way. Again, I may be misunderstanding your issue. Check out some videos on tuning magazines before doing anything.
