EDMHUNTER,
Empry-case feeding depends a lot on the cartridge, and some on the individual action. Even Model 70's vary enough that not all will feed the same.
I once had a VZ24 98 Mauser action that, when I had it rebarreled to .30-06, fed empty cases perfectly, even though it was originally barreled in 8x57. But not all military 98's will do that.
Many actions will also feed empty cases from one side of the magazine but not from the other--or not feed cases from the bottom of the magazine.
