My Ishapore 2A1 feeds 100% with factory ammo. My reloads, using pulled milsurp bullets, often jam, however only the second round (when loading five), feeding from the left side, jams, all the rest feed fine. I'm not sure if it's the tip popping up or the rim dropping down, but the bolt rides over the rim and the tip jams above and to the right of the chamber. I load to the same overall length as South African surplus.
Anyone else have this problem? Is it the mag or my reloads? How do I fix it?
 
My guess is its the mag. Take it apart, scrub it, boil it, use denatured alcohol, polish friction points with a dremel, lube and try again. Might have to polish/bend mag lips also.
