[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2062350, member: 68758"] OK, now I get it- wasn't new when you purchased it. .300 Wby is the same class as the Nosler, it needs wider feed rails ("magnum", this is the diff between a std. LA for say, an .06 and the wide case magnums). Anyway, it wasn't a factory magnum action, and sounds like whomever opened up the feed rails had too heavy a hand on the mill. I haven't encountered this before, but perhaps someone else has. Might need a custom, wider follower. I would suspect any manfacturers' followers will be sized to fit the 700 magnum feed rail specs and would still be too narrow- but simple enough to call around to them and ask. [/QUOTE]
