Has anyone tried machining the tikka action so that there are feed ramps which help single feed easier and load from the mag with extra long bullets easier?
Interesting that you would post this today. I was going to start a thread when I got home.
I discovered yesterday that even if someone *DOES* finally come up with a LA Magnum DBM for the Tikka action, max. mag length rds will not feed into the action. I too was wondering if anyone had come up against this and had worked through it.
My 300Wm single feeds flawlessly. I do know that on my .260 build about every 1 in 100 rds. the nose of the bullet will get stuck *below* the feedramp instead of feeding up into the chamber. Is this what you're talking about?
I have the same problem occasionally. I'm using a XLR chassis on my tikka .223 and the max length the.223 AICS mags allow is 2.5something. Well I found that occasionally they will go straight out of the mag and not up into the chamber.
I was wondering of there's a way to mill something similar to what ARs have in relation to feed ramp, but to make just one groove bc it's a single stack mag.
I did it Saturday night in a hotel room with a round file. Shot the lone start match and found out the hard way I had seated my 180's a hair to long. It can be done just like a remington, just ad a bit of a notch for the tips to come up. Just don't take to much. Solved my feeding problem for the weekend.
