Hi All,
I've encountered the following problem on my tikka T3: the .308 mag is way too short for feeding rounds set up for low (say, 20thou) jump. Looks like it's been made for the 7.62 NATO spec to take factory ammo and it's not happy with longer hand-loads.
Would buying an "extended" mag solve this problem? It looks like there are mags for .270 available that will take a longer .308 bullet.
Are there any cheaper alternatives (that still work well) than the branded tikka mags for £50?
Finally, if I was to get the large calibre mag, will it still feed the short .308 factory loads?
Thanks for your help!
