I'm posting this here in case anyone else has a problem with theirs.
First, it has nothing to do with the type of bullets. My old style Barnes flat nose solids feed just fine.
It all comes down to how you load the cartridges. First, you must start with the rifle held in the vertical position. Then, press the first cartridge down (toward the bottom of the magazine) and to the right, then press the second cartridge down and to the left and slightly in front of the first cartridge, then the third cartridge down and to the right like the first one and slightly in front of the second one. It also helps, if after you insert the second and third cartridges, you slide them back until they stop against the previously inserted cartridge. If you do the above but with the rifle in the horizontal position you'll still have problems loading.
I can work the action as fast as I want now with no problems as long as I follow the above procedures.
