<strong>Try your visual check of the first three rounds, noting how they sit just a split mm or so before they engage the lips of the magazine.

With three rounds of Winchester in each magazine, they all exhibit the tilting phenomenon equally.

However, I notice this: the top cartridge tilts down until the the nose of the bullet contacts the front of the magazine at the point it is cut out. When the cartridge continues down the magazine, it resumes the orientation it had when it was in the feed lips--tilts back up. All four magazines exhibit this as well.

It works this way with S&B, as well--I don't have any Blazer to try right now.
