Remington 700 - 33 Nosler Feeding issues

[johnc427]

Has anyone built a 33 Nosler off a Remington 700 action? I have a 300 Win mag I rebarreled to a 33 Nosler and now I'm having a feeding issues. My guess is I need to open up the feed lips and get a new spring, box and follower? Trying to keep from opening them up too much as I would like to be able to still use the 300 Win Mag barrel. Rifle was previously opened up to a Wyatts extended box mag to fit 300 WM/215 hybrids.

Any suggestion's would be appreciated! I'm going to call Wyatts tomorrow

RUM sized case on a belted action is thwart with issues…
It will need action rail widening, a windowed mag box to hold 3 down and most likely a new follower.
Just a word of caution here, after all this alteration, the 300WM will probably never feed correctly, it will hang up or pop out of the mag.

Cheers.
