6 BR mag feed?

[Elwood]

I guess this one's aimed at Baldie really, but if anyone else knows the answer do tell

 

Has anyone made a 6BR mag feed yet or even seen one? I know it can be done as there's an article on 6BR.com, but has been done with satisfaction in the UK?

Seen it feed from a mag on 6mmBR.com

 

Could not say which mag system it was.

 

Guess a longer bullet will feed better than a lightweight short one.

 

I would think that the feed ramp angle of the rifle / magazine relationship was critical with such a large step up.

 

Wouldnt like to get a 22BR to feed

 

 

I do recal Baldie posting a while back that he had done one successfully.

I have one that does

 

I thought I read that it's easier to get the short lighter bullets to mag feed rather than the long heavy ones.

 

I will admit that in my 22BR I only ever put three in the mag and every round so far has cycled, kiss of death!

Nemasis's Custom Tikka in 6BR mag feeds. Dasherman built it for him.

Hi there chaps,

 

my M590 L/H Tikka (6BR) feeds very well, I have both 3 and 5 round magazines and have had no problems. I think it is more difficult with remington actions.

 

best wishes,

Talk about coincidence !

I finished the magazines for my own just yesterday.One thing that i, and i,m sure, others didn,t spot, is the guy on 6mmbr is using 5 round mags, which i believe have a shorter spring in them than the ten round mag [short, as in not full width] the AI 10 round has a spring which is almost full width, meaning only a small spacer can be fitted. i fitted a 3mm thick aluminium spacer to my mags, and they feed ten rounds of 6mmbr with a 90 grain scenar, absolutely flawlessly, from any position in the magazine, whether you push them to the back, up to the front spacer, or anywhere inbetween.This should , in theory, replicate, round positioning under recoil, which tends to make them move forward under recoil. There is a crucial point in there, that determines whether it works or not........and i,m not telling.

The rifle is finished bar another coat of oil on the stock, and maybe another good barrel buffing.It will be shot in on saturday, and hopefully a load good enough to take it to the fly shoot at diggle on sunday.....for shits and grins...

Any rifle that feeds from a central position is worth a go with.
