rem 700 not grabbing second shell

Excellent pictures. Obviously, the follower isn't coming up far enough in the rear. Something is holding it down.
"...installed a mag x-tender..." Anything else installed when you did this? Any cutting done? Same follower? Does the follower come all the way up with an empty mag? Does the cartridge touch the mag well sides? Does it do this with factory ammo?

when there is no shells in the mag, the follower is right flush to the bottom of the action.
when i put the first shell in, it seats to the right hand side(opening side), and it sits perfectly level and doesn't teeter at all.
when i put the second shell in, it sits level, but it isn't supported all the way back like the first position on the follower, and if you touch the rear of the 2nd shell, it tilts like in the first photo's where the bolt missies.

i don't know, it still seems like the upper groove on the follower just needs to be longer, like all the way to the back of the magbox?

as to the extender, it was the only thing installed at the time, but the bottom metal was not original, i bought it used and installed it when i bought the vsf stock, as the palma stock was a blind mag, but i dont see the problem being the bottom metal.

so...does anyone know if the saum's feed ok in the v-bull aics mag's:(

if i get time today, i will stop by the gunshop and see if they have any 7mm saum factory shells to try, just in case.
