Gunsmithing LAWTON 8000 408CT FEEDING RELIABILITY

[overspin67]

I'm going to use Lawton 8000L repeater actions + bottom metal (7 rounds mag) to build 408CT rifles for a few customers of mine. I'm little concerning about magazine feed reliabilty due to (extra)length of Chey-Tac rounds. Does anyone have experiences with same action, to share?
Thanks in advance for your help guys!

To fix the extra length of the magazine make a filler strip that is .100 thick and tack weld it on the inside front of the mag. Or what I've been doing is mill the front of the magazine feed ramp on the reciver.

Robert, thanks for your tip. I actually have to see how this action feeds, cause I'll receive first 2 pieces at June, but would like to get prepared to any issue...
