IOW's get rid of the troughs leading to the holes. Where troughs work, is to slide in longer bullets towards the holes where the bullets then tip upright and fall. In this short fat bullet case it just causes a permanent tilt and hang. IMO for short fats, a flat surface with a sudden drop in the hole will work better. (and wax the surface with paraffin, or paste wax)
The more I think about it, the more I think that the smaller hole size in the plate may have been the wrong target....getting rid of the troughs for shorts the right target.
The easiest way to test that theory is just to fill in the troughs temporarily with plaster and test the idea......same with the plate with the bigger holes....and you may find that the bigger holes is even better.
