Been messing with the ACT mag that came with my RIA 1911 and I think I fixed it!

I removed one coil off the bottom of the spring, slightly relieved the tension on a few of the coils near the top but the the biggest improvement was shimming the plastic spacer at the rear of the mag that runs the full length with a piece of .003 copper shim stock.

This eliminated some of the forward tilt of the follower and it now loads (nearly) flawlessly every time!
