260 AICS (Accurate Mag) Feeding Issues

[260AckImp]

Hello everyone

Im having trouble getting my 260 to feed out of my Accurate Mag 5 shot magazine. I have the magazine with no blinder plate to allow a max COAL of 2.950".
The problem im having is the round isnt running up the feed ramp properly and is just slamming into the bottom barrel face instead of ramping up into the chamber. Anyone have any suggestions? I have thought about bending the feed lips out slightly to get the round to sit higher but just thought id wait and see what you guys suggested.
Thanks for your time and information.

PS the rifle is chambered in 260 AI but im trying to feed 260 Rem loads at the moment for fireforming.

Mine always fed great with Accurate magazines. I would guess standard AI magazines would have the same issue too.

You can try opening up the feedlips little by little, you may also check the magazine height (mag latch) to see if that is a contributing issue. It could by the action, it could be the stock/chassis, ii could be the magazine, could be a combo of things.

I would test another magazine first, preferably a straight AI 10rd magazine. If that does the same, start tweaking.

you have to have a radius cut on front end of mag well or beginning of feed ramp just 1/8 will do. in order to allow bullet tip with your COAL to pass .
