Reliable feeding is one of the most overlooked elements of accurate, repeatable rifle performance—especially when running short-action magnum cartridges that demand precise alignment into the chamber. A properly designed spare magazine can restore function quickly in the field and improve cycling consistency for match and hunting applications.

BROWNING X-BOLT is a direct-fit replacement rotary magazine built from durable lightweight polymer. The rotary design feeds cartridges directly in line with the bolt rather than offset like traditional leaf-spring magazines, producing a straight, low-friction path into the chamber. This OEM-style unit is listed as Browning 112044603 OEM Black Rotary 3rd for 270 WSM, 7mm WSM, 300 WSM, 325 WSM for Browning X-Bolt (Magnum Short Action).

Design and key features

The rotary magazine uses a compact spool mechanism that keeps rounds aligned concentric with the bore axis. That means less tilt, reduced feed-pants, and smoother chambering under hot or dirty conditions. Constructed of a lightweight polymer, the magazine resists corrosion and cuts weight compared to metal alternatives. An ergonomic magazine-mounted release speeds reloads and maintains positive retention in rough terrain.

Performance with WSM calibers

270 WSM

For long-range deer hunters, 270 WSM delivers flat trajectory and controlled recoil. The inline feed path of this magazine keeps rounds aligned for consistent chambering, which helps maintain point-of-impact and follow-up shot reliability.

7mm WSM

7mm WSM users benefit from a compact mag design that feeds heavy-for-caliber bullets without nose deformation. The rotary system minimizes side-loading that can upset delicate bullets during chambering.

300 WSM and 325 WSM

Magnum short actions like 300 WSM and 325 WSM demand robust, reliable feeding. The BROWNING X-BOLT rotary mag provides that by feeding straight into the bolt face—important for hunting dangerous game or making high-confidence long-range shots.

Fit, durability, and value

This OEM-style replacement is explicitly listed for Browning X-Bolt magnum short-action rifles and is offered at $48.99—an economical spare or upgrade for serious shooters who want predictable feeding. The polymer construction balances toughness and weight savings while the magazine-mounted release improves ergonomics over older designs. View product details and pricing.
