Gunsmithing Anybody know if a 6BR will feed from a Win 70 SA?

[Hummer]

Got a Win 70 short action SPR detachable box mag incoming. Just wondering if anyone ever had any luck with chambering one in 6BR and getting it to feed?

Historically 6mm BR's have been a biche to get to run from a magazine. The best solution I've seen so far is use of a Grunig/Elmiger magazine. It's a Sako TRG mag with a revised follower and loading ramp built into it.

Good luck.

I know G&E made 300 meter 6BRs with small diameter strikers as my buddy brought one here on the way to Perry a number of years ago. He was on the Brit 300 Meter team and that thing shot like a champ.
It would seem with the interest in 6BR someone would have bit the bullet and built one. After all Ruger built a 77 in 7.62X39 with mag feed capability.
