    338/284 feeding issues


    Im looking to build a 338-284 on a 110 long action. Does anyone have one or a 6.5-284. Will I have any feeding issues from the clip?

    Will probably depend on if you use a centerfeed or staggered-feed action. Centerfeed it should work fine, staggered-feed could be iffy. I have a standard 284 built on an Axis and it feeds fine with the centerfeed magazine.

    I put together a 6.5x284 but never got around to shooting it. Did do some function testing with some dummy rounds, in a LA-SF action and blind magazine it fed just fine.

    FWIW I have built a 450 Bushmaster on a SA-CF action and it feeds just fine. Figured that may be relevant since the 450BM is from the 284 case.

    Mine is a 116 older small shank (formerly 30-06) with 6mm-284 Shilen and Criterion .284 Win barrels, never had a bit of trouble with the feeding. You should be just fine.
