I have one of the MRC's PH actions and have run into a feeding problem. I have not modified anything yet. The problem is getting the cartridge to start up the ramp at the front of the magazine box. I will be loading blunt nose bullets like the 700gr Barnes solid so suggesting a pointed bullet won't work. Reworking the follower seems like one way. I am open to all suggestions on the forum or private.

What cart are you using???

I am building a 550 mag. The aol may vary from 3.75 to 4.0. It has a straight wall. There is very little movement in the magazine till it hits the forward end. No way to get it to release or pop up for the bolt to grab the base for a positive feed. I have pictures and can supply more or any that may help visualize the situation.

Use a flat follower like a Weatherby 378/416/460 follower and make it feed out of the center. If your using flat nosed bullets you still will have to work on the ramp.

If I had wanted it to feed like a Weatherby I wouldn't have spent a $1000 for the PH. You also loose 1 round by going that way. I have a 475 on a Weatherby action that still has issues with feeding. Thank you for the suggestion. Have you had to use your method with large case cartridges in your none Weatherby actions?
