Tikka 300 WSM magazine options for extra COAL

[wirehead]

Someone posted they created a Frankenstein mag by cutting the rear spacer out of a WSM mag and using a follower from a long action cartridge magazine… I did this too and it worked well. I think with mine, that’s a count of 3 folks who have done it successfully.

So my red follower MDT mags feed very smoothly, but I CAN NOT run the bolt hard. I must slow down to allow the 300wsm rounds to jump up to align into the chamber.
Pretty annoying.

Interesting. Mine has performed flawlessly at the range, but I jammed a shell "in action". I wonder if that is why - thanks for the tip!

I was just shooting mine today, and the back of the magazine is coming loose in recoil. So have to re-seat the mag after each shot in order to pick up the next round.

It’s frustrating. The gun shoots well otherwise.
