Mauser Action Feeding Work - CZ 550

Making a rifle feed with any random bullet is a challenge. That is what started this thread. To get a spitzer bullet to feed is quite easy. Round nose is also fairly easy. But a hydro or flat nose solid is tough. Between a hydro without plastic cap, a Hornady 480 gr solid and a Pergrine 515 gr solid is a big variation in dimensions. Throw in win mag case vs lott case.

So while I agree that you can often adjust just one parameter and solve a small feeding issue, the true reliability of the mauser is in all the parts working together. The feed ramp, magazine lips, follower and bolt face/ extractor. Kind of like domino train falling. I think it starts at the feed ramp and then cascades along to thefollower.
