You'd think so but a lot of rifles will feed well with one nose shape or OAL and not with another. Gunsmiths get good bucks to make sure famous name brand rifles will feed everything reliably. Many folks think nothing of buying a top end firearm and then sending it off to someone for "tweaking". Part of D'Arcy Echols' work on Model 70's is adjusting the magazine box and feed rail geometry so his rifles will feed everything without fail.
I've seen so many people expect perfection in a rifle or handgun and then when they find one flaw their undying love for their new toy turns into instant total rejection.
True perfection in every category is not that easy to find in any manufactured good so that's why I say I'm not too worried about it just now. Learning a rifle's personality is just part of the process. The rifle has too many other good points right out of the box not to give it a chance to find what it likes and doesn't like, and then just feed it what it likes.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
