Ended up using a LA Mag follower and and ultra mag, windowed magazine. Still had to position rounds on the follower slightly ahead of the back of the magazine. That pretty much cured the feeding issues. Still wasn't real happy with the smaller loading port on the Bighorn action, so I dropped it in a Grayboe Terrain with a Grayboe std length (3.715') M5 DBM and 300WM Accurate Mag. Absolutely NO feeding issues with the M5 DBM.

I'm already toying with the idea of building another. If I do, I'm probably going to go with a Defiance Deviant Hunter SA Mag cut for the Wyatt's extended magazine. The Wyatt's gives an extra .100" of length, and the Deviant Hunter has a much more open loading port.


I'd personally skip the wyatts and get the Deviant in the XM length and use the Defiance XM bottom metal!
