6.5 x 284 Feeding from a Rem 700

Thinking of rebarrelling a Rem 700 Long action to a 6.5x284, any problems with feeding from the magazine. This will be a hunting rifle.

Remember the origins of the .284. It was designed to cycle thru an auto (Win Mod 100) and a lever action (Win Mod 88).. They, the 6.5 x 284 and the "straight" .284 share the same 35deg shoulder angle. So there should be ZERO problems cycling from a bolt rifle.
