Four Fingers of Death

I posted this on my previous post and didn't get any response, probably as most think its the same old stuff.
I finally managed to get to the range with the old 1914 vintage 1892 Winchester I picked up.
Bugger! The Winchester factory loads (lead flat nose bullets) are a poofteenth of an inch too long. They catch on the bottom of the chamber mouth. Absolutely refused to feed. Fired a three shot group Placed in the chamber manually, all with a ding on the nose), standing supported at 50 yards, went about 2", but I was pi$$ed and not having a good day anyway.
It looks like it needs a tiny bit of a chamfer.
I can tolerate a lot of things, but failure to feed ain't one of them!
Any ideas?
