[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2066512, member: 68758"] Another thread here related to the .300 WSM- I used a Wyatts (internal) extended box mag and modified the receiver and bolt stop accordingly. This one's a hunting rifle, and I'm personally not a fan of DBM's for that application. Will a different mag with shorter capacity fix the problem? Of course, if the receiver cutout isn't long enough and you don't want to modify the receiver. Also "of course"- your OAL max is going to be less. May or may not be an issue for you depending on whether you intend to load heavier VLD's without needing to sink them too deep into the case. As mentioned, it's a common issue for followers to push the round up nose down which can also cause it to hang up and this can be often fixed by modifying the follower spring so the round has the correct orientation when pushed by the boltface.
