IT WORKS!!! I made three dummy rounds. One at the size I was having issues with ....2.075", then 2.035", and 2.0". I put all three in my mag from the longest going in first to the shortest last and my rifle cycled them through with no issues. I did it again with no issues. Then I took the long, 2.075" bullet and put it in the mag by itself and tried to cycle it...jam! Did it again, jam, then it jammed with the others in the mag.Both shorter loadings function fine by themselves several times! Damnit! All that work unloading my powder charges and resizing. SOB! Lol, well time to reload at 2.035". I'm back in business! I have watched a YouTube video of a guy taking the magazine apart and winding the spring another rotation with feeding issues but not going to mess with it since the shorter loadings cycle just fine.
