Well, after my range fun today I ran through about 300 more rounds and towards the last 50 or so I had that nasty jam again and had to pry the casing out of the magazine. Check out this pic. It's hard to tell but the round is a little bent.
I had two problems this trip, the other was just a simple failure to feed, which was quick and easy to clear. I'm thinking that my problem is just like what you said, a problem with the magazine. I did give each load a good bump on the bench to get all the rounds lined up and ready. I think that helped reduce the number of problems down to only the two.
Think I should get in contact with customer support? Is it dangerous to have a round catch like that?
