(.45) They seem to hang up at the bottom of the feed ramp almost every shot. I can retract the slide slightly, let it go, and they will feed. When I got home from the range, I polished the ramp, but haven't had a chance to try it again since. Ball and EFMJ's feed perfectly. The pistol has only about 100-150 rounds through it - might it just need more break-in? Anyone else had this problem? Thanks.
 
Polish and slightly bevel the bottom of the extractor. They're a bit over agressive on the Witness pistols, sometimes it causes feeding issues. If that doesn't do it, get some wolf extra power mag springs.
 
Thanks Mach - you gave me a duh! moment there - don't know why I didn't think of springs. I ordered some new Wolff springs right after I read your post. I'm confident that will fix the problem - it looked like the follower was just not quite pushing the round up enough to send it up the ramp. I ordered a stronger recoil spring too to put a little more force behind the slide.
