Help please, case neck sticking on chamber edge when closing bolt. Poorly drawn pic.

[adammiddagh]

I have a pair of 110 actions that I made into 308win and 22-250. The 270 blind mags(both started as 270) would feed the 308 perfect, but the 22-250 would do as you have drawn. I came to the conclusion that the bullet tip needs to be in the chamber mouth before the case head comes out of the magazine lips. I am not sure of the solution for yours, but I ended up buying a short action magazine and making an adapter bracket to mount it into my long action.

Hope that helps,
Adam.

Edit.
What was happening on mine, and I believe yours, is that the bullet tip is not in the barrel, but against the rear of the barrel.

It is sliding forward. It releases where it supposed to at the end of the lips however it springs upward pretty hard as soon as it's released because of the mag plate pushing up on the bullet head.

I double checked and the bullet is definitely reaching the chamber before it is released from the mag lips.

I can recreate this with my finger just by sliding a bullet in with the head up slightly above horizontal, as soon as the angle on the neck gets to the chamber it catches.

So I found that the bullet head is catching on the ejection pin. The pin doesn't actually protrude from the recess in the bold face but when the bullet is at the angle in the picture its just enough for the bottom of the head to catch on the ejection pin.

So the bullet head catches the pin and the shoulder catches on the chamber. I've never taken the pin out, it compresses just fine and ejects fine. Any one know whats up?

Fixed. Took my dremel grinding wheel to my ejector pin. Filled it even to just about even maybe a touch under the lower beveled edge of the bolt face then rounded it off. Feeds smooth as butter now.

Thanks every one for the input.
