The magazine feed tube is sharp and tends to catch the edge of shells that I feed into it.
Same thing happened to me on my Winchester SXP Defender. I used some sandpaper wrapped around a short piece of wooden dowel rod to de-burr the edge of the feed tube. Now it loads smooth as butter. I would de-burr and maybe polish anything the cartridge comes in contact with as it loads.

For those that would suggest taking care of it by just shooting more, I would argue that, with the cost of ammo being what it is, you could probably hire a gunsmith to de-burr it for you for less expense. Before I de-burred mine, I had run several rounds through it and it was no better than when I started.
