got so excited writing the last that i forgot to ask a question as well.

when i rack the bolt on this rifle, with factory shells and with my handloads, the cart that lives on the left side of the rail inside the box mag, doesnt feed well into the chamber. this has to be fixed before i go out and tease the lil grizzlys here.

it jams against the lug area and possibly against the chamber mouth. this is with factory shells and with my crimped handloads. question is...is this norm with straight walled cases like this 458 and if not...what to do about it?

thanks

Ted
