Bolt on Eddystone 1917 wont chamber a round?

[CINDERS]

Being a controlled round feed and from my own Parker Hale 22/250 experiences you have to place the round in the mag and then cycle the bolt as it is almost impossible to get the claw over the round by trying to force it to close on a round already in the chamber you may do this once or twice but then again you may snap the claw from the extractor and there you go!

I've fed the snap caps from the magazine and also dropping one in the chamber and then trying to chamber it. They both end up the same way. The picture was just to show how far the snap cap sits out.
