Feed ok, or mods needed to mag?
Seed of an idea planted.
G'day gunnie, yes it does feed well from the mag, although, there are a few little mods you have to do. File the extractor just a pussy hair as the rim on the 7x57r is just a little thicker. It hates rounds with 175grn projectiles because of their long skinny profile. That doesn't bother me anyway as I only want to shoot 139/140 grn rounds and they function flawlessly. Also the ejection can be a little less positive. By that I mean the 7x57r case just flops out of the receiver as apposed to flying out like a .303 case. The 7x57r case has almost a semi-rim so it doesn't friction on the left side of the receiver like a .303 case.
