Help please, case neck sticking on chamber edge when closing bolt. Poorly drawn pic.

Interesting. What chambering? Does this happen with evey round in the magazine or, for example, just the first or last?

Hey adam, thanks for the input.

I think the tip of the bullet is actually in the chamber when it releases, but when the head of the round pops out of the mag lips it springs up with a lot of force and its the neck of the case that catches on the edge of the chamber.

I tried some minor file work on the mag to get it to release the bullet a little smoother with no luck. I'm thinking maybe some polishing on the corners of the chamber where the neck is grabbing and also on the bolt face... and if that doesn't work I might try filing a groove into bottom plate of the magazine to try to take the spring pressure off the head of the bullet right before it gets released to stop it from popping up at that angle.
