I've been hearing about people doing it with BR cases on Ai magazines just havent heard it from enough people to invest in the bolt to try it.
I'm wanting to put one in a Rem 700 I'm thinking about chambering in 300 HSM.

Coned Bolt for Remington

I have used one on a 6BR with a magazine and it feeds well. If you work the bolt slowly and watch the nose of the bolt "Pick up" the top cartridge from the magazine you can see that the edge of the bolt nose just barely grabs the edge of the case enough to push it forward. I would guess that a .223 size case might be difficult to get to work with the coned bolt while a magnum size case would probably have plenty of surface in contact with the front edge of the bolt.

What is an "HSM" ?

300 Hornady Super Magnum???

It is a 375 Ruger necked down to 30 cal. Some rocket scientist named Jo Thielan came up with it in an effort to duplicate the capacity of a 300 Weatherby Ackly Impaired without the belt and named it the HSM.
