Just got back my 6.5-284 norma in a long action 700 BDL that was a 30-06. The rifle feeds just fine is the bullets are loaded in the middle of the magazine, but if they are pushed to the rear the seem to stay deep in the magazine and the bolt wont catch them to feed into the chamber.

Suggestions?

Tweak the spring to push the rear of the follower up

It's always prudent,to Start At The Fhuqking Start.

What you are up against,is the magbox's feed lips being too narrow at the stern,which precludes rounds from riding higher...in relation to the bolt's nose. Simply open those 'lips,to align the geometry you like. Springs don't stay sprung,but alas,not everyone shoots. Once the 'box is tweaked,it's forever and ever Amen.

Hint.

Thank me later....................

I used a Mod 700 SA once, rebarreld to 6.5/284. I could never get that thing to load the last round (or the only round), it would "fly out of the magazine" with the least movement. Aaaargh! Off it went.

That's narrow feed lips,SCREAMING at you.

Hint...............

Tell me about your elk.

LOL.

I have not shoot one sense yesterday.

Dig the diminutive 80” midget deer!!! Haha



If only for conversation....

Admin please lock this thread.....before these 3 have a circle jerk on my thread where I actually was trying to gain some insight and learn something.

Agree about the circle jerk comment.

If tweaking the spring or a stiffer magazine spring doesn't fix it send it to Redneck.

Some people can just look and see that the rails need modifying or the spring is no good. These kind of issues can baffle me where a pro can fix it in minutes.

I have had issues with Remington extractors if carbon or brass slivers get under them. Also if the angles change from wear it can create problems.

As Stick pointed out, you can alter feeding in a 700 by tweaking the box mag lips. I've done it with good results.

If the round pops out too quick, widen the lips. I put a piece of iron in a vice, passed the sheet metal box over the iron and tapped the bend with a hammer. That tends to widen the lips, causing the round to remain under the rails longer. It's a trial and error process, but it works.

With a pre-64 6.5-284, my smith milled the follower rib thinner to better accommodate the fat case. That seemed to help, as that gun feeds very well.

700's, IMO, are easier to tweak..

Do what dirt farmer recommended but go easy. A center feed follower works well with the WSMs and might for the 284 based cartridges. PT&G and others make them.

I also polish all the contact surfaces it usually smooths the feeding up.

It might be worth OPs time to take a look over on Wyatt's Web Site.

https://wyattsoutdoor.com/product/long-action-prc-kit/

While the link above references the PRC in a LA, the same principal holes true to with the 6.5-284 in a LA. Years ago when I built my first 6.5-284 on a LA, I tweaked the mag spring and position similar to what Wyatt suggests.

Thanks for the updated comments guys.....ill definitely take a look at that site. I know that the mag lips are rubbing the cases awkwardly as there is a fairly deep scratch on the surface of the cases after they have been loaded into the chamber so im sure they at least need some polishing or widening slightly.

Nothing wrong with the parent cartridge, why go elsewhere?

130 VLD's at 3150....that's why......

Your point?
