Idk why so many people get hung up on “feeding”
It’s not feeding you will have issues with. It will pickup the round and chamber just like any other cartridge. It will even eject it just fine so long as you didn’t FIRE IT.
The problem is the short little case youre left with after the bullet is gone. Most likely it will pull the case out and instead of flipping it out the side, it will flip it over backwards in the port. If you’re shooting off the bench at paper or at some little varmint it’s a non issue. But if you’re calling critters, it will cause a major jam up if you don’t notice it and try to rack another one in the chamber.
The CRF of the Ruger might help but after owning 2 700s in the 221fb, I’ve sworn off 223 length actions for fireball length cartridges. No one loves 700s and 221fbs more than me. But the two together is no good.
My 221 is a CZ and it gives me ZERO issues. It’s the perfect little repeater.
