I think the cartridges are sitting high in the mag. The cartridge is .460 in the rear and .435 in the front. The mag lips are .445 in the rear and .445 in the front. They seem to feed well but loading them is an art. Your thoughts?

What do you mean loading them is an art?
And arent the mdt long action mags for magnum rounds? Pretty sure you will need to close them down to fit a standard .473 bolt face cartridge.

Edit: its right there in the product decription.

They have an option for a .30-06 which I ordered.

The art is getting them not to go past the rear of the mag. As you can see in the picture, I rim of the case is above the rear of the mag.

Thank you for the measurements. It seems the incorrect magazine shipped. Send us an e-mail through our support portal with your order number, and we will get that swapped for you!
