HMR feeding fix

So I've been working up my load and am really enjoying my B14 HMR.
So the load is a
140 rdf
Hornady lrp brass
Shooters world 4350
Accurate 10rd with seekins pads

The issue I was having is when loaded to mag length I was catching the bottom of the feed ramp. I could easily push the action off the recoil lug but then obviously that's not the best idea.
So I made a little aluminum shim that I hand sanded to 30 thou.
Works perfectly, I know there are more than one ways to skin a dog or how ever that goes but I didn't want to bring away at the feed ramps just yet ;)
Let me know what you think, I didn't look for others who may have had a fix I just went at it and this was my answer to the problem.

We may have near identical set ups. I notched the feed ramp instead. Can now load to 2.878" coal. Forget where I had to stop prior to notching.
Your solution looks preferable and seems to work. Thanks for sharing.
