I posted this over in the bolt action forum but I might get some good feedback here.
Hey guys, I am having some problems with correct feeding in a AICS short action I am trying out.
I have attached some pictures to give you a better understanding of my problem.
It is a 5 round AI mag, but also does the same thing with another short action mag. My rounds are a 6.5X47 Lapua with an overall length of 2.825
The rounds fit into the mags great. Plenty of room left over. Mags are unmodified. It's a rem 700.
Those bullets are 6.5x47 with 130 JLKs at 2.825
I put an AI mag in with say 5 rounds.
I shoot one round and then pull the bolt back to eject my spent case. Try to put another round in the chamber and it is getting stuck under the action feed ramp.
I am not sure why it would do this. The mag seats just fine and it clicks in with a positive click.
It is like something is not lined up right. You can see in one of the pictures that the actual action is sticking out in the mag well area.
Do I need to dremel some of my action away to get it to fee properly??? I hope not.
I see how the bullet tip is getting stuck on the feed ramp. It is after a round is pushed up in the chamber, then the next round is pushed up by the magazine spring. Well this next round is getting the tip of the bullet caught under the angle feed ramp of the action. Frustrating!!!!
Any, some help would be great. Thanks a bunch guys

This first picture is of the action sitting and hanging over the magwell area. Is this normal???, It happens on both my short actions.
This is the second round being chambered. After I enject the first spent case. This tip of the bullet is getting stuck under the action feed ramp.
This is the bullet after I pushed it down and to the rear of the mag. It then pops up just fine. This is what it should look like under normal circumstances. Round is now ready to be pushed by the bolt into the chamber.
