Yes I know whats the problem is. I had the same problem with my Remington model 700xcr in 270wsm. I fixed it with a Watts single stack box magazine. Cost around $38.00 The problem is that the double stack magazine cocks the cartridge at an angle. With single stack magazine the cartridge comes straight up in center of feed ramp. Once you install the new box magazine it feeds smooth like butter. That was the only complaint about the gun. Mine is very accurate and loves factory 150gr. Winchester Power Point ammo. I chronographed them out of my gun at 3200fps. I am working up a load with the new Berger 150gr. VLD bullets.
