[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 1867430, member: 109229"] That’s really frustrating. I have a Cooper Phoenix that does that. I don’t have the feed ramp issue but I think what’s happening is that somehow there may be too much spring tension on the mag follower. It feeds the second round fine but the third one points down like you said. I think what happens if you got 3 rounds in the mag (full) is that when you push-feed the second round into battery there is too much friction between the 2nd and 3rd round in the stack. If there’s enough space between the meplat and the front of the mag it pushes the 3rd one over and down. My remedy is to chamber a round and only put 2 in the mag and it seems to resolve the problem. I figure if I don’t have a whitetail on the ground inside of 400 with a .25 to .5 MOA rifle with 3 shots, I better go back to golf. That said, Coopers command too high a price to have issues like this. They make beautiful, accurate rifles, for sure but I think there are some details they need to pay a bit more attention to. I guess they are kinda like a high maintenance girlfriend. My wife agrees. [/QUOTE]
