The one that doesn't jam: 0.454 at the rear of the lips-0.472 at the front
One that jams once in a while: rear 0.451-0.467 front
One that jams a lot:rear 0.440-0.462 front
I see a pattern here. Tomorrow I'll try to adjust the bad ones to match the good one. What's the best way to open them up a bit?
Also, I cheated and polished the underside of my lips before I ever put a round through the mag. Standard deal using a polishing fob on a dremel arbor and a little buffing compound. Buff and keep moving, checking to see if a q-tip wiped along the lip snags any fibers, end to end. Smooth is good. Ditto on the feed ramp.
