Help Needed

Your recoil spring may be too weak, use the paper test on the back of your receiver to check this.

If too weak the toggle will hit the rear of the frame too hard stressing the action this causes the toggle to slam forward too hard, when the bullet hits the ramp it jumps/bounces causing a jam

Sometimes the stressing causes the front of the toggle to raise enough to not strip a new cartridge from the magazine. a mag that sits low or a well worn gun makes this more likely to happen.

hope this helps-> good luck
