Remington 700SA - WSM Feeding issue

I have a remington 700SPS in 300WSM that i really want to keep but it fails to feed about 20% of the time, 20% too much in my opinion. I was wondering if a center feed magazine box & flat follower would allow the round to feed reliably? Has anyone tried a center feed magazione box in any rifle that improved feeding?

Need help before i make a rash decision, i know its under warranty and was hoping an authorized remington repair center could fix it for me but i would like to try the center feed magazine box/flat follower.

Thanks

Not sure what your problem may be but I had a minor feeding problem with my short mags and found it and fixed it myself. The magazine box was about 1/16" higher than the feed ramp. I got a fine round file and worked it down to the proper level and it works perfect now.
Hope yours is that simple.

I'm assuming that this is a "three round" magazine. Anecdotally, many of these magazines will work reliably when loaded with just two rounds, but frequently misfeed when you try to stuff the third round in. Is this the case?
