Looking for an AR mag that doesn't catch the bolt

[PA Valkyrie]

I just bought a Ruger American Ranch Gen II in 300BLK. It uses standard AR magazines. I like to single-load at the bench, but that's near impossible because the bolt catches on an empty magazine. I have tried grinding a ramp on the back of a mag follower, with mixed results. I'm pretty sure there is a "Bob Sled" single-shot sled available for this configuration, but I would really like a regular magazine that will not catch the bolt when empty, preferably one with a metal follower.
Does anyone know of such a thing, or do any of you have another idea?

Take the bolt catch out of the lower

Just remove about a 1/4" height from the rear of the follower

Bolt rifle...no bolt catch to remove. The "bolt catch" in this case is the bottom lug of the tri-lug bolt.

Thanks! I'll try this mod first.

Thanks...I didn't realize that this product worked with the AR mag Gen II Ruger Americans. Thought it was an option only for actual Ruger-magazine equipped rifles. If buffalowinter's mod doesn't work I'll order one of these.

My bad...I read right past the Ruger American part
