[QUOTE="Killertraylor, post: 2282429, member: 10842"] I built a switch barrel 6.5 Sherman Short with 7mm SS and .338 SS barrels about a year ago using Joel's Apollo Lite/Ti action and the Wyatt's 6.5 PRC mag box and follower. At first, I couldn't get the fat SS cases down through the feed rails on the Apollo and Joel told me to scrape the DLC coating off of them to give me a little extra clearance. That worked, but the action still won't feed from the mag to the chamber reliably, especially with 2 down. I recently ordered another of his actions to build a 6.8 Western for a buddy and we are having the exact same issue with the 6.8 western (same Wyatt's 6.5 PRC mag box and follower). I tried some different followers from my 7 SAUM, 6.5 SAUM and 6.5 PRC but none of them seemed to work. Joel thought that perhaps machining another .01 off each side of the feed rails and using a CFE center feed magbox and follower might fix it. Just wondering if anyone else is running this action with a short mag and whether you've had similar issues or if you can recommend a mag box and follower that worked for you. I just ordered a few of the Wyatt's center feed mag boxes and followers and will give those a go next week. Thanks! Joe [/QUOTE]
