Hmmm??

[MuzzleBreak]

Finally got to go to the range. Don't have much time to shoot but got her started on a zero. Gun shot well and the Hornady grouped well at 1.097 at 100.

Only problem was feeding the Hornady ELDX into the chamber. Seems the belt at the bottom of the brass hangs up with cartridge under it and pushes the front down so it won't feed.

Anyone else have this problem?

Never had an issue with any of my belted magnums. I am a 300 Win Mag junkie.

Sounds like the way you're loading the rounds into the magazine. The belt.of the top round shouldn't be behind the belt of the following round. If that makes sense.

Makes sense. I staggered the cartridges and it cycles fine. I have never dealt with belted brass before. Figured I shouldn't have to do that but if I do I do.

I hope that someone will come up with some words of wisdom. I am hoping for a solution.

HMR Johhny perhaps this will help:

When the cartridges are in the magazine the belts should sit directly on top of one another. When the top cartridge is pushed forward by the bolt it will drop off the belt that is below it and feed into the chamber. Some rifles require a very deliberate act to ensure the cartridge is pushed to the rear of the magazine.

I never looked at animal that I had down and thought "a smaller gun would have been better". A sheep guide once told me to bring anything I want as long as it is 30 caliber or bigger and has a belt.

Like avoiding rimlock on a rimmed cartridge feeding from a box magazine.

Just possible... the top of the mag box need to be opened Just A Little.

I would call Sig First.
Hope this helps.
