[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1932729, member: 10755"] The bottom metal is not the issue...I use the same bottom metal for making 416 Rigby’s. The mag box & follower should be changed as well as the bottom metal milled to accept a different mag box, or alter the existing mag box by cutting windows in it. The feed rails control EVERYTHING on a Mauser. If they aren’t timed correctly, which is the major issue, the case will not feed, even from a centre feed correctly. The bolt has to push the bullet nose up over the feed ramp, then the rear of the case ‘pops’ up and into the the claw extractor. This is timed by the width and place the feed rails go from wide to thinner as the case is forced up by the follower spring. The only other option is single loading. Sorry. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
