Like in the article this will only work with long heavy bullets seated out. If you try and use light weight bullets seated to specs they will not feed from the mag. The feed lips of the mag will drop the case before the bullet tip will start into the chamber.

Use a 223 aics mag. grind it open to 0.400, it'll work well. Ran 70gr ballistic tips out of my 6br that way as well as 107smk's. You'll get 7 in the mag.
