Had a series of FTFs the other day. One mag in particular wasn't lifting the head of the round enough to get it onto the feed ramp. You could slide the mag in, pull back the bolt and see the round sitting there, flat -- and know that it wasn't going to feed. The other mag worked mostly perfectly... You could pull the bolt back, and see the bullet end of the round tilted slightly upward, ready to feed nicely.

Wondering if Xavier's magazine tweak:

will help this. Seems related, yet not quite.

Anybody had this problem?
