Brand new Sig938 extreme

3 failure to feed issues within about 100 rounds first time out, two while racking the slide and one while firing. Its looking like the bullet is taking a nose dive when the slide goes to chamber it then the nose of the bullet wedges itself on the feed ramp and everything comes to a stop.

this happens with FMJ, Corbon 124g +P BHP, and even Hornandy Critical Defense 115g FTX (which has a more tapered bullet tip I would think feeds better). Replicating the problem it seems the first round in the 7capacity mags is a problem child. Should I get the barrel ramp polished?

tips or solutions would be appreciated.
