I have two different custom actions (Remington clones). Both use Wyatt internal mag boxes. I know it sounds odd, but when I work these actions slowly, they do not feed well. I was considering switching to the Curtis Custom bottom metal with the detachable box magazine. It would seem to me that a single stack center feed detachable box would feed better REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED AT WHICH I WORKED THE BOLT. Are you able to work the bolt slowly and it still feed properly?

Have you tried adjusting feed lips at all?

Like the build and using the Curtis action for it, Alamo Precision is making some impressive rifles. 3 locking lugs and 60 degree bolt lift is very nice
Going back a long time .264 bullets in the 6.5 named cartridges goes back at least to 1892 6.5X55. I think in those days they often used the land to land not groove to groove dimension. Many cartridges are not named for the true bore dimensions .
Just for grins look at the .224 diameter bullet shooters, 2118 bee, 219 Donaldson wasp, 220 swift, 221 fireball, 222 Remington, 223 Remington, 224 Weatherby, 225 Winchester.

Already planning my next build with them on a titanium action and carbon fiber barrel!

Originally posted by jstanton View PostIt depends on availability of components. Mine had a long lead time because of the action. I got one of the first batches. The stock can also have a long time if you go with something that is not on the shelf, that McMillan was a 3 week wait. Total this build was about 12 weeks I believe. I know they are cranking out other builds on Remington 700 actions and Grayboe stocks faster though.
