Nope, but some COAL for touch exceed my magazine length and I have to single feed. What is your COAL for the rounds you are having issues with?
There are two sides to this story - cartridge OAL and rifle magazine internal length.
The CIP COAL is 80mm (3.150").
If you measure your rounds (which I'm assuming are factory) and they exceed this, then complain to the ammunition producer.
If they're shorter than that, but don't fit the magazine, then contact the rifle manufacturer and ask why its product won't handle within-spec cartridges.
If they're handloads, then look in the mirror at the culprit and take them back to the press for the obvious method of rectification.

Factory round, they fit in the mag, but only 3 or 4 out of ten feed in the chamber, love the Berger 140
but this feeding problem is not good
The round is 282.50
282.50

An environmentally unsustainable location, not to mention the hurricanes. Have spent a lot of time in the lower keys over the years and its a wonderful place in the winter, but I wonder if much of it will be underwater down the road.

Barry said he stopped the rise of the oceans the day he got elected. Him and all the other global warming elites live on the beach so he must have been right. They snuck that in while nobody was looking. I used to work at the power plants on stock island and turkey point in homestead/flo city alot.
