OK finally got the mega black hole out to the range yesterday, had two issues. 1st issue is load is showing pressure signs, now I admit, I didn't load this ammo, but the load is 31.5gr blc(2) with a 120gr soft point and I believe Remington primers with AA brass. When I got this ammo the bullet was loose in the brass, so gave it a slight crimp. I shot 7 rounds yesterday, all of them showed pressure signs, I didn't notice it at 1st as the second problem was bugging me. anyway...3 had pierced primers and all were flattened, chronograph reading was right about 2600 fps. 2nd issue is jams, I am using C-Products 6.5 mags (I have several), and when I release the bolt on a fresh mag the below image shows what happens. It looks to me like the round isn't going into the bolt head. Only happens with the ammo on the right side of the magazine, left side feeds fine. Any ideas, suggestions?

after talking to a few others and doing more in depth research I think the issue may be the ejector. The ejector on this bolt sits above the face of the bolt, this was the comment from another person helping me diagnose the problem. I have seen this before. "If the rounds fit in the chamber inserting by hand & you state it feeds fine from the left side of the mag it has to be your ejector. When feeding from the right the base of the round has to transition across the ejector. When this happens you should be able to remove round & see a ding in the edge of the base. It is killing the momentum of the bolt/carrier. It may also cause enough damage to not allow the bolt to go aroung the rim. Switch ejectors noting how high this one is or bevel the existing one toward the 7oclock position(right side of the mag) on the bolt. Need to get the edge of the ejector down away so the rim does not make contact."
I will be calling you soon this am. thanks!

Is this happening on just on the first round or though out the mag?
