minor mag issue

Postby Crusher75060 » Tue Dec 09, 2014 11:18 pm

I find that my mag takes the JSB 8 gr pellet with absolutely no issues. But the 10 gr heavies sometimes 1 or 2 of 10 won't fall all the way into the mag and need a little push with the finger tip. But then the Monsters 16 gr pellets hang. I have to push every single one of them with the fingernail to get them to drop in.

So I'm wondering if it might be a good deal to open up those holes just a bit. Maybe with a dremel or something? Anyone else find this to be true? Or maybe I just have an odd slightly undersized mag? Once I get the back of the skirt to pass the hole, they drop right in. I wonder maybe the mag has a little burr on each hole? Any ideas?

I wash every tin of pellets I get. They do have litlle pieces of lead and dust in every tin. You can see it. cleaning helps.

I've had the same thing happen on all my 177 M-rod magazines.

I carefully reamed out each hole with a 3/16" drill and have not had that happen since.

I think I'm going to give that a try. It is a pain in the butt having to push each pellet past the sticking point. I have 4 mags so I guess I'll do one with the drill and see what happens. If it works as well as you say, I'll give the other 3 the once over. Thanks for the input.
