I bought a 22PPC from this site and love it. The rifle is in a MAK tube gun chassis. It is set up to shoot the heavy 22 cal bullets (8 twist barrel) and as a repeater using AICS 308 mags.
The rifle came with two modified mags that don't feed well at all. The have a narrow spacer in the back and another in the front. The front spacer is shaped to assist the round into the chamber. Acting like a feed ramp. Any suggestions on how to set up the mags to feed flawlessly. I've heard of ARs shooting the PPC case so it must be possible.
2nd I am having an issue with pulling the round out of the chamber. I'm running a warm load of Benchmark powder (26.5 grains) but not getting excessive pressure signs. No flatened primmers (using Wolf SRMs) or hard bolt lift. Only expirencing tough extraction. I am using Redding dies that resize the body and control neck tension using the bushings. Using this die I am bumping the shoulder back by .002"
I did notice that some of the cases come out of the chamber with shinny marks on the end of the case neck walls. Almost as if they are touching the lands (?). I have the chamber measurement interts and can't recall needing to trim. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
