View Full Version : Will a SS varmint action/DBM reliably feed 223 rem?

I'm planning to put together a 223 rifle using a Savage SS varmint action. I already have the action and I replaced the factory .473 bolt-face with a PTG 223 bolt-face. I am currently waiting for the barrel (McGowen 24", Shilen #7LV contour, 1:7 twist). I assume that the DBM that came with the action will not feed 223 rounds reliably? Will I be able to adjust the DBM feed lips or will I need to order a different DBM?

Thanks.

easy way is just order a new mag or just the box and follower as the bottom metal on the mags will swap out

What Earl said - you just need a new .223 housing (black part the rounds sit in) to replace the current one.
