Is anybody else having any problems with the magazine in their 77/357? I am now on my 4th from Ruger and it still won't feed. Bullets hit the rear of the barrel because the nose doesn't raise up enough to let it enter the chamber. The back of the barrel has a fairly substantial bevel at the lower edge. I can get one or two from a 5 cartridge load to feed. Same with only putting 4 in the mag. I have tried every bullet shape I can find and nothing is any better than another. I even tried Lyman 9mm 356402's, the pointy little 9mm in some dummy rounds. The front of the cartridge just doesn't come up high enough to clear the rear of the barrel and enter the feed ramp. Anybody got any ideas cause Ruger doesn't seem to have any. They just keep sending the same mags out with the same problem. It seems like the spring pressure is not enough to "kick" it up.
