I just recieved my build back from the smith, 7mm Dakota on a predator stiller action, Hs precison DBM and clip, jewell trigger and a rock barrel #4 countour at 24.5" with a painkiller muzzle brake on it. Here is my question when I load the detachable mag with EMPTY 7mm Dakota brass it will not feed the Empty one at all! Also there are some washers put in between the botom metal and the stock pillars??? My gunsmith told me that thats they way its supposed to be, I am not sure about that one sounds fishy???? And when I put a dummy round in it it seems to feed it ok, but the bullets seems to touch the ramp alot! Is this normal for this type of Detachable magazine??? And will the runout of my bullets be affected when they touch the ramp to get fed into the chamber?
Thanks

If it will feed dummy rounds, I wouldn't worry about it feeding empties. If the tip of the bullet needs to tip up a little when it feeds, the front of the magazine lips can be spread out a little. H-S makes a tool to do this and has dimensions on the tool for various size cartridge cases. Brownell's sometimes has the tool.
