    One thing I've found is that I will have failures to feed with some spitzer bullets. The feed from the magazine was made with the big round nose as the modern bullet shape. Sometimes the spitzer will dig in and jam up.

    I too had that often, or issues. There was a thread here including that and it was suggested that our magazine is actually at fault... Here's the thread... https://www.milsurps.com/showthread....116#post483116
