[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 289213, member: 1521"] I'm sure it could be a problem for a Remington, but less with Winchester type designs. I worked with a 300WSM from a Savage action, and they did just what was needed; Controlled round push feed, and standing blade ejection. They also used a larger diameter tennon, to get enough barrel steel around the chamber, and the rear port section was extended a bit. I had a one-off Bat action made with these attributes for my 6.5wssm. You need CRPF so that the rim slips up into a relieved section of boltface(from magazines). This captures an otherwise free round, and with that, controls where the round is pointing. Push feed type extractors enable single-shot action. Button ejection is deleted because that would tilt any round off center of chamber. Standing blade ejection at the back of the action tilts the case out of the port -when needed. The port needs to be back far enough so that an ejecting case does not bounce off of it, causing forward ejection, or worse an empty free case remaining in the action. This would be an immediately jamming condition. The tennon needs to provide for magnum cartridges, or else the large diameter chamber will expand too much on firing and brass extraction becomes a problem. Basic gun design comes into play with short magnums. You can't just throw them together like common cartridge guns, and expect the same results. Short magnum actions are different. That said, someone is firing up to declare contradictions with their gun. It can be managed differently. But some have not addressed details needed(including manufacturers), and their results cause panic about short magnum feeding issues. [/QUOTE]
