I NEVER buy anything new in the box! But, I see a lot of blokes at the range cursing some plastic stocked wondergun because it won't feed, and when you ask it's often some reload with a projectile sitting out a lot further than it should, because they want to cram more powder in..... Or some such!

The gun always gets the bad rap!

The reason I asked , tongue-in-cheek , about the 275 H&H being new is, that was the origenal question! "NEW AND OUT OF THE BOX failiers!

I agree that ost failiers are the nut pulling the trigger rather than the rifle. Whic is also the case with your 275 H&H. The 275 was not designed to use 100 gr hollow points,nor was the rifle OUT OF THE BOX designed to feed them. That example is giveing the rifle the RAP for your loading practices! Don't you think?

In all case if a M/S rifle fails to feed it is not the fault of the rifle, but the shooter, by your own example. Paraphrase " the problem with M/S rotery mag rifles Failier to feed if bullets are seated out too far" That is shooter error, not poor design of the rifle!
