[QUOTE="minute of elk, post: 837082, member: 44031"] I'm feeding 208 amax's through my tikka varmint 308 @ 3.000" coal. I did Jason's bolt stop mod with a dremel & had no problems. Where I AM having problems is with mag follower. I picked up a long 5 rd mag & it feeds, but the feed lips are short, and the follower tilts too much sometimes. I need to do a stutter move to feed sometimes. The bolt goes back far enough, but because the cartridges tilt, it doesn't always pick em up. I'm working on a do-it-myself fix, and tikkaperformance.com is also looking into a fix. It isn't a deal breaker by any means, just a small pita. Good luck if you get tired of it you can send it to me ;) [/QUOTE]
