Just got a T3 barreled action, put it in a T3x stock and using a new factory Tikka mag. When I load two in the mag, the last one catches and won’t load. The round points down and the bullet is catching. This is a .338 wm and I’m using a standard LA magnum mag. This is using the flush 3 round mag and with bullets loaded to fit in the mag.
Anybody encounter this and a fix? I’m about to just say screw it and get an aftermarket DBM and use AI mags. Didn’t want to make that investment just yet, but this is an issue I’d like to not have happen in a hunt. Especially in AK with grizzlies around. Well, and I want to shoot 3 rounds without hiccup.
Anyone?

Figured it out. Took the follower and spring out, turned the spring 180 degrees, and works perfect now.
In case anyone else runs into this issue......
