I have a 7mm boolit that is jamming in my m 70 win.
I have a large flat meplat and it keeps jamming when I try to strip it out of the mag.
I have tried to champher the edge of the boolit but it still jams
Suggestions ?[smilie=b:

Watch to see if the round is tipping down when the bolt moves forward, you might be able to seat the bullet out farther to help it move up the ramp. That's just a wild guess, but make yourself a dummy round to cycle through the action a few times. It shoudl hopefully put a mark on the bullet if it's jamming, which could help you figure out what's happening.

The round that jambs, is it the first round or the last round? Is this a gun with a detachable magazine or a internal magazine?

it doesn't make any difference which or what order of the line up
hit center of the cartridge chamber
I have tried varies lengths but to no avail
I am however considering using parent 280 rem brass
to see it that make a difference instead of the improved brass
