[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 36091, member: 10"] Skyliner, The 204 mag box is the same wideth as the 223. The 22-250 box is much wider so you will get case binding problems in your box as you try to feel your rounds. If I were you, I would take your rifle to your local smith and tell him what you are looking to do. He will be able to remove the spacer block in your magazine box and then he will either need to order in a replacement follower to fit the longer length of the empty box or modify your existing follower with front, rear or both extensions to fill the space in the longer box. The longer follower will probably be a follower for the 243 class rounds. This follower would need to be thinned on both sides and probably have some front modifications as well. The problem with using one of these followers is that the round positioning hump on the follower is designed to push the fatter .470" case head diameter case over against the wall of the box and may not function perfectly with the 204. Take it to your smith and he should be able to get it modified to what you want without to much trouble or money. Good shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
