[QUOTE="slygunner, post: 36097, member: 2899"] brian, I talked to a knowledgable gunsmith today and he told me how to fix the problem. I first thing I need to do is take the spacer out of the magazine by using a dremel tool and cutting the spot welds that hold it in place. Then find a piece of thick plastic that is or can be cut to the proper width and epoxy it in place of the spacer. The plastic will allow the follower to move freely. There is no need to modify the follower because it will always be at the back of the magazine and so will the ammo. He said that you would not have to modify the follower until you need more than about .200 more room, I only need about .045 to about .060 more room to load the OAL that I need. The COL length of the Hornaday ammo is 2.250 for the 32gr and the 40gr cartrdges. Thanks for the relpy and info brian.slygunner [ 09-29-2004: Message edited by: slygunner ] [/QUOTE]
