I have a 7x57 spanish mauser, doesn't feed from the right side of the mag, especially with soft-points or anything flat on the front.
The cartridge starts going up to the chamber, but points sideways too far, and the front of the bullet slams into the edge of the chamber face. The right side ALWAYS does this, the left does this maybe every third round.
The follower is a little loose side to side, but I don't think that's the issue. It seems like the cartridge needs to be pointed less to the side.
Ideas? I can post pictures in a bit.
It's driving me crazy. I've seen more reliable Lorcins.
I was thinking either:
A) Bevel the edge of the chamber, depending on how far the case head goes into the chamber
B) Convert to single stack magazine
C) other option I haven't thought of?
