AICS mag problem

[gpo1956]

I have a three round AI mag for 6.5 PRC. It feeds the first round fine, but the second and third rounds nose dive under the feed ramp. What adjustments do I need to make?

I switched a Savage model 12 blind magazine over to AI mags and had the same issues, my solution was to adjust the feed lips slightly for the rounds to sit a little higher and also I notched the feed ramp. Not saying this is the solution to all of these types of issues but that was what I did and it feeds great now.(6.5x284 non binder plate mag).

Thanks very much. Thats what I was thinking but didn't want to screw up. Those dudes are expensive.

There's a few feed lip tools on the market and some good info about feed ramp modifications on the web, please be careful and thoughtful about the process.

I don't remember which company it was, but they have feed lip adjustment tool with a chart per cartridge.

I've got the tool, but I would sure love to see that chart!!

I guess the + or - in length depends on mag length?

L/A mag #7390 (<_3.060" coal) front .450", rear .480"
L/A mag #7379 (> 3.060" coal) front .440", rear .450"

Just in case you can't read from the pic? Maybe printing will be better?

I noticed a typo on the #7379 mag and corrected it

Well, I've got it feeding like a champ, but now the case is coming off the extractor and isn't ejecting. Any idea where I go from here?
