Hi All,
I bought my Thompson/Center Performance Center T/C LRR 6.5 Creedmoor and received it today. I noticed that the rifle comes with a 308 magazine (308 label stamped on the side of the magazine). I put couple ammos in the magazine and tried to load it but failed. When the bolt push the bullet up, the tip of the bullet hit the wall instead of up high enough to get into the track. Does the rifle suppose to come with 6.5 Creedmoor or 308 magazine? or if I did something incorrect?
Thanks.

Ralph, 308 and 6.5 Creedmoor magazines are interchangeable due to the common case size. Just the actual bullet is a smaller diameter in the 6.5 (necked down compared to the 30 caliber 308.  Disassemble the magazine and make sure the follower spring is slotted to the follower guide groove correctly as this is what positions the bullet.
