Hello. I have been working on a Savage 110 long action for a few years now and I have my dream barrel installed. It's a long action, originally chambered in 270, then 30-06 but I recently put a 308 barrel on it. When it was a 30-06, it had feeding issues where if I slammed the bolt home, the base of the round would jump too high and the round would jam. If I just eased up on pressure, the base of the round would fall back into alignment and easily feed. If I feed at a moderate speed or slowly, it feeds fine.

I just installed my 308 barrel and it behaves the same way, even with the shorter cases.

Any suggestions? Too stiff of a magazine spring? I'm using a magnum blind magazine right now. I can't find a 30-06 magazine to save my life.

Tony.
