Reloading for a Para .45

All of my currently reloaded ammo meets saami spec, by my case gauges, oal etc all good. It feeds and functions flawlessly through my single stack 1911s with various brand magizines.

Now my paras, I have 2, p14 .45s, are a whole differant animal. Factory ball will load and feed in my high cap mags, reloads stick and hang up in the mag after 9-10 are loaded.

I have polished the insides, replaced the followers and springs, etc. Its not a gun issue, I can load the mags and thumb the rounds off the top and the spring/follower will not keep feeding the ammo up.

The mags are not crushed or damaged in any way they drop free of the mag wells smoothly.

Any body else experance this or a like problem with para mags? How did you fix it? My mags are the orignals purchased in 88/89 time frame and have never been stored loaded.
