It's a 10x Leupold in a 1" PH mount. Would like to round up a 26mm unit one day, along with a more appropriate scope.

They are about and often up for sale here in the UK.
I load my rifle round at a time, so don't use the mag for what it was intended, however, on occasions I have let other people fill and fire, they have had feeder issues caused by the lip of the short mag.
I tend to rest my springs when not in use and lightly oil them when ever I can, which seems to overcome that problem.
Are you using 7.62x51's?

Not much. Mostly ammo I load myself. It likes 150gr Nosler Ballistic Tips and Sierra MKs. IMR 4064 powder.
