4. Weak recoil spring
5. Underpowered ammo
6. Feed ramp/bullet nose shape incompatibility
7. Too strong recoil spring

If it makes it up as far as the extractor, it isn't really a nosedive jam.
On the above list I understand #'s 1,2, & 5 are shooter related in that the shooter can do the corrections himself easily. In regards to the other's on the list such as the recoil spring and the magazine issues how does one diagnose these problems. What do you look for?

Thanks to all for the responses.
