I been wanting to seat my projectiles out to the lands but couldn't find any defiant fix. I didn't want to hack up my mag or chop my bolt release. So I just bought a tikka 30-06 mag and a long action bolt release assembly pack from brownells in the US sent to aus for about a $100, & mag was $130. The rounds feed and eject like normal. There's a vid on ytube on how to swap out the bolt release easy as. I've attached photos of the mags side by side with 2.900" oal bullets, also the under side of the bolt once I replaced to new bolt release button
