Modification of a Tikka 3 to accommodate a bullet a longer Case Over All Length

I explain what I did to the magazine and bolt catch to accommodate a bullet with a longer seating depth.

Same exact problem I had with my Tikka T3 in .308. Followed your example! Thanks for the fix!

[@adamj.8398]

Excellent! Very thorough problem solving.

[@bunsguns8222]

Thank you! Thought I could do exactly this, but didn't want to blow the cash and find out otherwise.

[@ErikisOfficial]

Very good

Would it be possible to just run a long action mag as-is and modify the bolt stop so it'll go back all the way to the back of a long action mag?

[@augiegonebad]

What did you use for a block in your new mag?

[@oddmunddale806]

How do you fix that on a 300WM Tikka?

[@ericthered7226]

Or, you could've just loaded your rounds into the new magazine as it was and install a long action bolt stop. Wha-la.

there is no way you can have 1/4 of the bullet in the case. :-O
