[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2928308, member: 1951"] I’m no expert on this, but what I see from the OEM’s is that they always make a rear spacer or occasionally a front spacer on shorter rounds. I think it is to assure feed lip to cartridge position if the cartridge moves under recoil. To my way of thinking is rear loading(placing cartridge anll the way to the rear) and enough mag spring force should make this ok and is making it ok on my customs. Accurate mags and I suspect most center feeds have enough spring force to do this ok. That said, my worst mismatch is 3.4” oal in a 3.6” mag. It feeds ok, but not great. I think that a magnum follower and spring would help as it is the follower that seems to get misaligned sometimes when loading. It is a std Win 70 BDL with 06 length plastic follower. Spacer removed to make 3.6” mag. [/QUOTE]
