Hey there everyone! I'm glad to be part of this forum. I'm excited to hear your insights and to share mine as well.
I 'm wondering if you could help me with my problem in barreling a 30.6 action to a 308 length case. Some can be fed from the right bank but a couple would not feed at all. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance..

Not sure how a barrel diameter would effect an action.

Some more information would help. Make and model of the action (or type if it is a design used by multiple manufacturers) most importantly. The source of the ammo is also important because reloads introduce a number of factors that have to be considered such as neck sizing vs full length sizing. It might also help to know who installed the action.

Besides the fact that 30.06 is a long action and the .308 is a short action, they also have different shoulder demintions.
