I bought a Howa in .308 and re-barrelled it to 6br (Howa supreme varminter). I placed single rounds into the mag and shot that way...didn't modify a thing...
Possibly the mag would feed fine if you pushed the bolt forward via the bolt shroud rather than using the bolt handle...thats what I did anyways and I can't recall having any issues...was only placing a single round in at a time though.
I used it varminitng and f-classing...75 v-max for varmints and 95Berger vld for f-class.
This is for a bolt action. I am really surprised you could push a single 6mmBR round into the internal mag and the round was picked up and chambered. Do I understand this correctly? If so, I wonder how many rounds you could load before it acted up..., if at all?
I don't know enough about bolt actions to know why there is any difference between pushing the bolt closed via the bolt handle or the bolt shroud. I would a round loaded by using the bolt handle.
