[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1933053, member: 2736"] You are absolutely correct, but if the action was designed for some other cartridge It can be difficult to tune it and normally takes someone that is a good Smith and has experience with adjusting the follower and rails. The center feed box is easier and 100 % dependable when adjusted correctly, And the main advantage is no bullet tip deformation from hitting anything on chambering. This is one of the many reasons that bullet designers now use polymer for the tips and avoid the lead tip. others protect the tip with the jacket. (Like the protected point Swift). When possible I would recommend the owner to find a donor that was originally chambered in a short mag and then it will be a simple barrel change most of the time. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
