Gunsmithing Feeding problem Rem 700 AAC

[stxhunter2013]

My Remington 700 AAC-SD in 300 blackout does not feed 130 grain hollow points reliably. No issues with soft or ballistic tips. It seems the end of the hollow point is hitting the opening of the barrel while trying to enter. The opening of the barrel forward of the feed ramp is almost square cut. Would it help to put a little angle in that area to better feed hollow points?

I had a Win 70 that had the exact same problem. I just polished the crap out of the feed ramp and adjusted the feed lips on my mag a little bit and it racked them like butter after that.

Are you talking about the inside edge of the bolt nose recess or the edge of the chamber?

That would be the end of the chamber chipsfan. It is pretty square cut with little taper.
