So I am starting to put together a 6.5x47 lapua on a Stevens long action center feed. Sounds all well and good so far right? What I am finding is that if I operate the bolt quickly I can normally jam a round into the chamber before anything bad happens. However, if I feed at a moderate rate or slowly the shell casing will come clear of steel lips prior to the shell being far enough into the chamber to stay put. The back of the case will come out and to the right and jam sideways in the bolt. If the muzzle of the rifle is tipped up at all when the case comes out sideways it will fall right out of the gun.

Is there a fix for this. Could I get short action box and follower and just space it on the back? Or is there a company out there that makes the metal for this type of application? I would really like to keep it a repeater action because the main purpose of the rifle will be hunting so I would really like to keep the repeater function.
