I have attached a couple of photos and I would apprecaite suggestions for a fix. The bullet that hangs up on the barrel is the Lyman 311041, the spitzers shown in the photo work fine.
Can I polish the surfaces where the bullet enters the chamber without creating safety issues? I mean just a slight rounding of barrel face where there is sharp edge now. If there are 1 or 2 rounds in the magazine they chamber 98% reliably, more than 1 or 2, 100% malfunction. Magazine spring? Follwer? I am stumped!!!!
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, Malcolm

I am adding another photo. I have marked the areas in the magazine area that are kicking the cartridges to a steeper angle when entering the chamber. Can I remove metal from these areas, a little at a time to reduce that angle. This area of the action does not hold the cartridges in the mag, it just kinds "steers" them in. I do not want todo anything that will ruin this action.
