Hopefully someone on the Forum can tell you if the ammo you are using is sufficient to properly operate the toggle.

Another possible cause of failure to feed is frequently a substandard magazine. Everyone seems to recommend a MecGar brand magazine if you have one or can find one. A magazine with a weak spring can also cause the malfunction you have described.

Another easy possibility is that the grooves on the toggle, breech block, frame, and reciever might simply be too dry to function properly. Ensure you have enough oil on these parts that need to slide over each other easily, etc.

Please let us know what you find out since this is how we all learn.
