Hey all. I have an HS Precision DBM/bottom metal kit on my Remington 700P, and was looking for some help with feeding/extracting issues.
I know many prefer Badger and other makes, but I like the HS P's ergonomics and looks, and I know plenty of people have them operating with no problems, so I'd really like to get this one working correctly. It's also possible it's not the kit or mags at all...
Here's the issue:
In slow dry fire exercises with inert rounds, both of my mags load and cycle without much of a problem. If they do exhibit issues, it's pretty infrequent.
But at a recent match, where, for the first time, I had to cycle the bolt rapidly, I ran into two issues:
1. A new round would get jammed partway through the loading process. When I'd eject and examine it, the bullet itself would have little nicks/burrs in it, roughly in the middle. This would happen sometimes in my slowfire exercises too, and I'd notice the same nicks/burrs on my inert rounds after it would occur. But it seemed to happen a lot more at speed.
2. A round simply would fail to strip off the mag and chamber. I'd push the bolt forward and it would cleanly close, basically on empty air! Hadn't had that happen on the dry fire exercises.

I'd really appreciate your help with this!
Oh, and as a final note- I don't *suspect* it's one individual mag versus another, as I vaguely recall both had the half-loading/nicking issues during my dryfire exercises.
Thanks all!!
