    Will be fine, I've done a few short action cartridges in a long action and it fed fine through the box internal mag.

    I changed the barrel on my 111 from 30-06 to 6.5x55 to .243. Haven't had a single problem feeding.

    Actually I have always found that a short action, feeds nicer in a long action than in a short, it's seems like that extra travel length, gives it more space to self align into the chamber.

    I swapped my old .270 out for a .308 barrel. Feeds great. Extraction / ejection is another story. After a shot if I yank the bolt back quickly the spent case will eject properly. If I pull the bolt back too slow, the case will jump off the bolt extractor & sit on the follower or next round in the mag.

    One of those things ya get used to...
    I believe on of the guys has a cure for it by doing a little modification to the extractor or ejector, as I recall.
    I think, anyway.
