[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1903419, member: 8873"] Sorry, can't really help just kinda bored and want to follow along in this thread. I have seen several times about how much a belted magnum can stretch when first fired due to the initial headspacing off the belt instead of shoulder, and the chamber being long. Maybe that much stretch wasn't accounted for in the factory magazines. And yes, shoving (.012 is no bump) the shoulders back that far will eventually cause issues with brass. Probably soon than later. The only issues I had with the Browning x-bolt mags were they were pretty short in my buddy's .300 WSM and you couldn't run any higher BC bullets anywhere near the lands. I took a Dremel to it a little to run the bullets out further. That and had one come apart when firing the rifle. [/QUOTE]
