[QUOTE="Tucker65, post: 2300950, member: 13818"] I've built a couple using Kelbly Atlas long actions and had troubles trying to get them to feed using the Wyatt's 300 prc box and follower. A member on another forum gave me some great info on how to fix this as he went through the same problems. He purchased a box with no window cut in it and then traced the window of his 300 prc box onto the blank box but moved it back towards the rear of the action. I measured the difference in the case length between the 6.5 and 300 which is .550 and that's how far I moved the cutout back. I machined the cutouts in my mill and smoothed up all the edges and it feeds reliably now with any number of rounds loaded. I did speek to Wyatts about this and he said in the future he might make some boxes specifically for this. [/QUOTE]
