right now I'm just hand loading them in first making sure to not cause that.Are you loading them staggered with the top round in front of the rim on the round underneath it to avoid rimlock?

Would that be causing the angle to be so extreme?Stripper or handload top round still needs to be in front of the bottom round
Spring can be sticky and I was going to clean it and oil it here soon. I only have 5 snapcaps currently though I suppose I could load 5 live rounds at the bottom to test full mag loading. in the first 5 rounds at least it doing the same thing every time. Extreme feed angle and it almost looks like the cartridge hangs on the feed lips. Then when I pull back the bolt the round "pops" out of the magazine for a lack of a better way of putting it. Maybe every 1 in 10-15 attempts will a round chamber without issue.How's the spring in the mag?
Does it load any better or worse with varying the amount of rounds in the mag?
It'll be later in the day today after I'm home from work but yeah I'll get those over to youCan you show me a SIDE view of your magazine, please?
I have not gotten to cleaning it yet but I just bought it from another NWFA member recently. It will be getting a deep clean here soon but I was just trying to troubleshoot the feeding issues the previous owner mentioned it had first if possible (its my first enfield).Ah, I don't wish to make a thing of this, but do you ever clean that rifle?
By the way - it looks to me like the FP is sticking out too much, so I posted a ? on the L-E FB forum.
