[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1750822, member: 10755"] What to do is buy a tube of Prussian blue, put it on the ramp, the feed lips and chamber a round. Carefully remove it and look to see where it has rubbed off. If the ramp shows only touching at the top of it, that's your issue. If the feed lips show less than half touching up front, it MAY also be causing a late exit from the magazine pushing the bullet tip high. Had the same issue on my 338-416 Rigby IMP 35° with high BC bullets, cases were shoved into the top of the action. The CZ550 Safari action it's built on was the issue, feed ramp, rails and action mods were necessary to get to feed, then there was the issue with the case being so fat the it hit the action before hitting the ejector, wouldn't kick a shell out no matter how hard you pulled the bolt back. LOL. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
