Do not use Hi-Speed!!! Make sure the cartridge guide above the bolt is dropping down to line up with the chamber when the bolt opens.
Here's a picture of a low serial number 1912 that was sent back to the factory for repair sometime after 1931 when Hi-Speed ammunition became readily available, it had a big stamp added to the side of the receiver -
"NOT DESIGNED FOR USE WITH HI-SPEED CARTRIDGES"
