I just tried my AI WSM from Redhawk Rifles and it worked for two round of 458x2.
Are you using 308 mags?

You can drill the rivets on the follower and move the spring forward about 1/4". That might hep a bit.

This is how I turn down heads.

My first try at reducing 223s.
Only two bushings and a trim job on the lathe.

Now that I have a choke in my 7 Bore, I may try buckshot again.
Never could get any kind of pattern before.

"Either Red Dot or Scope. You'll need the XS Scout Rail with integral Aperture Sight so you have back up sights... Make sure to Zero the Irons first, before installing the Optic."

Mine like factory Winchester 300 HP's.
Tried reloading, but nothing shot as well as the Winchester 300's.

Greenfield is what I have always used.
Never liked the spiral fluted taps, they break easily.

On the newest of the old 30-30 Mauser Threads, just use a Savage 340 Magazine.
I am sure that you could make it fit.
Rework the bolt face.
Then add an extension on the ejector.
Is there...
