.223 700 issue

[scott]

my .223 rem 700 doesn't like to feed the last round in the internal mag. it'll be fine if multiple rounds are in it. but if I only load one, or get down to the last one it has issues. it's hard to push the bolt forward (the whole way). the case ends up with a big scrape mark down the whole side. I think it scraps on the receiver section between the mag follower and the bolt hole. as it trys to get out of the mag.

I assume this isn't normal? I guess this is where a single stack mag has advantage over this double stack.

any ideas?

here is a pic. I took a clean peice of brass, loaded it into the mag. pushed the bolt forward half way. you can see the new scratch it made.

I had this problem, I polished the corners of the receiver rails which scrathed
my cases.
