NOE 227 grain HP feeding problems

[WilliamSS2025]

I am shooting the NOE 227/247 grain bullet out of a rem 700 bolt gun. I have tried the standard bottom metal double stack six round magazine and a AICS single stack 10 round magazine. The single stack work much better but I'm having to quickly slam/push the bolt home to get the bullets to feed. I dont think it's binding as there is no damage to the case/bullet. but i can feed the 230 grain lee much easier without the speed so i'm thinking a polymer tip would help feeding. anyone got any ideas?

One post per topic, please.

My experience with bolt actions is that if you push the bolt forward, the round either feeds or hangs on something. It's either hanging on something or it's loaded too long. What exactly happens if you try to feed slowly? What is your COAL?

it hangs on the feed lip, it dosen't seem to lift up. they're actually short at the moment at 2.000" that was the only way i could make them feed from the factory magazine.
