I got a 110E in 30-06 from a pawn store a year or so ago.
I have wanted a 458 Win Mag for years and years, so I bought the parts needed to convert it: Barrel, bolt head and Magnum Magazine and follower.
I got everything switched over, it fires fines, but it only wants to feed the first shell from the magazine every time, the second shell will feed about 1/4 the time, the 3rd shell never feeds at all it tips way down at the front and hangs up on the forward edge of the mag/cutout.
I got a sale flyer from midwayusa.com showing http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productnumber=476779 "Savage Arms Magazine Box 458 Winchester Magnum Stainless Steel" on sale so I ordered it, when I got it I found that neither of my magazine followers (30-06 / Magnum) would fit in it as they were both to wide.
So I went back to midwayusa.com and searched for "458 Win Mag follower" and found and ordered: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productnumber=779347 "Savage Arms Magazine Follower Assembly 458 Winchester Magnum", when I got it, it is the same as the two I already have, it is to wide to fit into the "Savage Arms Magazine Box 458 Winchester Magnum Stainless Steel".
When I wrote and told midwayusa.com this was thier reply
"Dear Michael,

Any ideas?
