What is the cause of this and how do I fix it - feeding issue

[Monterey21]

The bullet kicks out from the bottom metal before i can try to cycle it in

Don't understand why a GS would hand over anew rifle without cycling several rounds from the magazine. The Kaugers are made with feed rails to work with internal box, hinged floor plate, or DBM. Either wrong follower for cartridge or spring tension is way off. Tuning a rifle to feed from an internal box is the hardest part of rifle build, to me. I think a lot of people use DBM to not have to deal with this.

See post 11 here. Saw this last week. Just a fyi

My first custom is finished

My first custom is finally finished. Joe Collier (collier rifles) out of Georgia. I'm excited to get it. He loaded some 180 burgers for it too. We will continue to work on loads after deer season in Alabama ends February 10. It has: 28 Nosler 24" spiral Bartlein barrel Ag composites alpine...

Take it back to your GS and stay with it until everything is working properly. It's probably not a big problem and can be fixed pretty quickly

I talked to him and it's resolved. I told him the issue and sent the video. A new feeder plate is on the way. I'm trying to handle it at home since he is at a different state. It's no big deal. He wants to fix it and that's all that matters

Sounds like hes got ya! The follower can aid and depending on the round I take the top of the box sides off and that allows the case to sit out more and stay under the rail longer.

Glad you got it figured out. At first I thought maybe you had purchased a $10k single shot!

Keep us posted please as I'm interested in what you end up doing and if it works. If you don't mind, would also be interested in the video your GS shared with you.

The OP sent the video above to his Smith.

Do you have a magazine sleeve?

Idk what you mean a magazine sleeve. But if urs a Remington with a trap door, you can get a bit magazine to replace the trap door one.
