[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 946381, member: 1290"] You might fix it by tweaking the feed lips a little looser towards the front but it sounds as if the barrel is machined wrong where the bolt recess is. Weatherby Mk5 actions need a small bevel in there or VLD type bullets will bump into this spot and jam just like you are describing. Very common mistake trying to fit a MK5 barrel like a Remington. If you look at a factory rifle closely you can see the bevel. [/QUOTE]
