    Feeding issues


    I recently built a 20 Practical and it shoots like a laser. Im loading 32gr varmageddons but I have to single feed because the hollow point catches on the bottom of the barrel. Has anybody else had this issue? Does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks

    Cut a feed cone in the barrel.

    If I takeoff the barrel and put it back on would I have to cut a new feed cone? And what exactly is a feed cone? Is it just like a feed ramp that's cut into the barrel?

    Might try opening up the sides of the mag in the front close to the chamber that will let the ammo/bullet point a little upward when feeding it into the chamber.

    This is the same feed cone that is used on AR-15's.
