Ok,I've heard these are temperamental about ammunition. I bought one, used, but used little. When I bought it, the guy told me it had problems feeding lead reloads.

I figured I'd just use jacketed bullets. So, today, I tried a few dummy rounds through it.

It doesn't seem to have a problem feeding into the chamber.

Every time, on the upstroke, this one drops an extra round out of the magazine tube, under the cartridge guide. It locks up above the carrier, so that the lever won't come all the way up.
