dogfox Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 are you sure your feeding the rounds correctly into the mag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I have had a similar problem with the tactical elite, i would put money on its not the magazine, the feed up ramp to the barrel is quite short and steep and sometimes the rounds nosedived into it and snagged. this was mainly with a heavier longer bullet and sometimes crud on the feed ramp. what i found was to be a bit quicker / harder when closing the bolt did the trick.

Hi Harv... this will work some times... can work out a bit expensive if your not home loading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
