It's probably my fault but...
I have a factory (un-modified) Remington 700 5R Mil spec 308. Love the gun. Accurate, great value, etc. If I put more than 1 round in the magazine, when I close the action the round gets all sideways and refuses to go into the chamber. If I put 2 rounds in it, the first one won't go but the next one will. The kicker is, if I put in 4 rounds and push them down enough to close the action (with or without manually feeding a 5th round) the remaining 4 rounds feed with absolutely no problem 100% of the time. (I use FGMM ammo. I don't reload) I bought the rifle new. It has always done this.
What could be causing this?
