Maybe feeding issue with HS precion clip?

[elmerdeer]

I just recieved my build back from the smith, 7mm Dakota on a predator stiller action, Hs precison DBM and clip, jewell trigger and a rock barrel #4 countour at 24.5' with a painkiller muzzle brake on it. Here is my question when I load the detachable mag with EMPTY 7mm Dakota brass it will not feed the Empty one at all! Also there are some washers put in between the botom metal and the stock pillars??? My gunsmith told me that thats they way its supposed to be, I am not sure about that one sounds fishy???? And when I put a dummy round in it it seems to feed it ok, but the bullets seems to touch the ramp alot! Is this normal for this type of Detachable magazine??? And will the runout of my bullets be affected when they touch the ramp to get fed into the chamber?
Thanks
Elmer

Had the same problem, one of the feed lips were slightly bent.
I loaded 10 dummy rounds,played around with it to fix it.
I do a bit of leather work and, i am thinking about a leather mag pouch for the HS mag.
I only use the mag for rapid stuff,and use my old brass.
For benchrest/f-class i use,my better brass and single load.
