[QUOTE="jcoop, post: 773470, member: 13125"] It sounds like you have te heavy magnum short action bolt head. They started putting it on the shortmags a while back. I believe they are 5/8" (could be 9/16) thick instead of 1/2". They require a longer firing pin which I was unable to find. I made the standard pin work for my heavy magnum bolt head but it required a lathe. FYI I the PTG shortmag head is also deeper like this. [/QUOTE]
