Feeding problem after a new build...

I have an older Remington 700 short action that was made into a Darpa-ish XM-3 clone. The action was sent off to Chad at LRI to have the Clip Slot done, Ejection port opened up, Bolt timed, advanced & Tig'ed, firing pin bushed, bolt body fluted, double pinned oversized titanium recoil lug and it is a switch-barrel. 20" 6.5 Sherman Short Mag and 18.5" .308 Win. in a McMillan Stock

I'm breaking in the 6.5 SS barrel now, 100 rounds in and I want to feed from the magazine now. It seems that ammo loaded out to the max length of the AICS magazine is getting stuck underneath a sort of "feed ramp". I adjusted the magazine feed lips for the AICS 300 WSM magazines and the rounds will not tip-up towards the chamber. They are held down by the steel "feed ramp" of the action. Suggestions and recommendations??? Unfortunately I'm up against the clock and wanted to take the rifle up to PA for a late September shoot.

First Range Trip with my new to me Cadex in MDT Chassis -6.5 Creed

Finally got a chance to take her out to the range. 300 yards.

Did a deep cleaning with Thoroclean. Basically polished to 95% new.

First 5 shots were a vertical ladder. 1 inch POI shift downwards each round. Didn’t have the chrono running on those. Seems like it went super fast then slowed down.

After 5-7 shots she stabilized and was rock solid. We had some swirling wind from behind us so I am pretty happy with the results.

These wee factory 140 ELDM. Will start hand loading once I ahoot through my lot.

One of these is a 4 shot group as I miss loaded.
