I want to try my M44 at my next CMP match but I am having feeding issues.First it is hard to feed 5 rounds with a stripper clip,when I do get them in, I push the bolt foward and the top round in the magazine noses downward and will not feed.I get the feeling that somehow the rim of the top round is catching behind the one below it.Is there a catch to how to load a stripper clip on one of these or perhaps a weak mag spring?Any help would be appreciated.
