I’m shooting a 7 SAUM in a long action with AI mags, the ones stamped 300 win. When pull back the bolt after a shot, the spent round ejects, but the new round won’t feed. The problem is that the follower seems to be tilting back and causing “tail dives” if that is even correct terminology. Is there any fix for this?

Try 338 Lapua mags.
I had a similar issue in my Tikka with LA AICS mags, but only on the last round. It was the front of the follower catching the action and wedging it all up. A little reshaping the follower at the front fixed it. I’m using 338LM mags though. The 300WM mags are too narrow in the middle. Took just a little feed lip tuning to get the rounds to sit and present correctly but it wasn’t difficult.
