Bonz, try polishing the feed ramp with a little Fintz, if it is dirty it will keep the bullet from bouncing into place.

Thanks. Will give it a shot. The weird thing is that it seemed as though the mags were too short and the rounds weren't being stripped off the top...

Nope. 8 rounders. Once they started working I had no more problems

Howard....I polish my feed ramps with a pencil eraser. Flitz works great, but I don't always have some with me. One of my Springfield Loadeds wouldn't strip a round when it was brand new, with certain mags. I changed the recoil spring and it hasn't hiccuped since.

Thanks Joe. Will give that a try as well. But if this is the problem why did things run smoothly once it got going? Shouldn't a mag change have duplicated the problem?

It should...key word...should. The first round just may be tighter against the mag lips. Then a mag with a weaker spring might strip the first round more easily. If it happens again before you change recoils springs try loading an eight roung mag with just six/seven rounds in it.
