I would suggest having someone look at the carrier. It sounds like it isn't lifting the round up correctly to slide into the chamber. Could it possibly be that the chamber needs to be smoothed up as well. Either fix is easily taken care of. I polish up the chamber mouth as well as the upper portion of the chamber where the round hits and is pushed into the chamber with a fine crocus cloth. As far as the carrier goes, it may just need to be bent up slightly, but make sure if you try this that the carrier will go down far enough to pick up the round coming down out of the magazine. Good luck with it.
