My Mag Problem is Solved

[avery53]

I have both the 10rd and the 25rd mags, I have never been able to load them, even with the fixes used by others here on the forum.
Frustrated, I again took them apart, trimmed, polished, just going over them with a magnifying glass. Put back together, same thing.
I was thinking about it last night, when a thought came to me, measure the round length. That was it, I measured 6 different rounds, 10 of each. UREKA!!!!!!!!!!!
Here are the measurements:

CCI Blazer----------------------------.990"--.995"
CCI Standard-------------------------.991"---.993"
Aguils Standard----------------------.970"---.975"
Gamemaster-------------------------.971"---.973"
Federal Bulk HP---------------------..971"---.974"
Remington HP------------------------.961"---.963"

The ammo I had been using was the Blazer, it was too long for the magazines, and was binding them up.

All the ammo loads perfectly, except the CCI. I can load the 25 rounder without the aid if the loader, with no binding at all.

If yours is loading hard, measure the ammo, it just might solve your problem.

CCI works in all my other guns, Mossberg must run a tighter tolerence on their mags. At least my mags.

Ya know thats what ive been using in mine also. I think i shot some federal in it also but i didnt try and load it full with the federal.

I did notice that sometimes when i loaded the blazer i had a few that didnt feel like they were pushed back all the way and the point was rubbing the front of the mag. I figured it was the rim of the round
