    It's been awhile since I posted this problem. I've worked on the magazine. I cut the length of the follower by 5/16 added a 5/16 piece of poly to the mag housing and re-configured the spring. I've been able to chamber 3 rounds but not consistently. adusted spring tension and will work for a few cycles I can chamber 2 rounds consistently. I tried chambering 222 rounds before modifying mag and they didn't chamber properly either. By the way this was a rebarrel from 222 remington to a 17 remington fireball all parts were brand new and rifle was never fired before rebarrel. I'm thinking of trying to modify a AR 223 mag spring as I think I can obtain more consistent tension once I find the sweet spot. Bolt is addressing rounds properly and extractor is working well. Any thoughts?

    Thanks for your reply. It seems because of the short round ( about 3/8″ shorter than 222) the front of round pops up before it reaches the chamber. I don't think the bolt is holding it down, however I will very slowly move bolt along to see exactly what is going on. Thanks again for your comments.

    I wish you would have thought of this earlier. I'm 2 1/2 months into a 6 month waiting period for my 17 Remington Fireball. By the time I'm done with optics and all I will have about $3,500.00 in rifle

    Thanks to info from Robert at mountain Tactical I just dropped off a new left hand Tikka T3 hunter  chambered in 222 to re-barrel and fit for 17 Fireball to E.R. Shaw custom barrel works. How lucky am I that they are only 20 minutes from my house. They are very friendly and helpful not to mention very reasonable rates. Can't wait to pick up in a couple months
