do you have more than one 'mag' so that you can compare one mag to another? try TWO cartridges loaded... then TWO shy of full then FULL mags... to observe any spring/stack tension troubles... perhaps someone can provide some good photos of the Mag-lips, with precise measurements for comparison. also...
