I know it can be tough to get Savage 99s in .30-30 to feed spitzer bullets consistently and well. It takes finagling with the seating depth and even then it might not be 100%, so it doesn't surprise me that the .303 has that issue, as well.

It's not as touchy as the Mannlicher-Schonauer rotary magazine (especially the military ones that were optimized for use with one bullet configuration), but it can be touchy.
