Default Need help with magazine problem.

I bought a FN-FNS and was loading the magazine with Wolf 9mm ammo. After loading eight rounds or so the ammo is sticking in the magazine. After it sticks the last round will lay in the magazine loose. Also while I am shooting the slide will not pick up a round when it sticks. I have tried more than one magazine. I loaded it with some of my reloads and everything works fine. The brass cased ammo is even easier to load. The reason I am shooting Wolf is I don't have to pick up the empty hulls. At 70 it's getting hard to do. I just can't stand to leave brass hulls on the ground. I think it's the metal to metal making it stick. I thought about putting a light coating of oil in the magazine. Maybe you guys have a fix for this, I hope. Don

I don't know if your mags are easy to take apart, but if so, do so, clean up and lubricate. If you cannot take apart the mag, then spray some dry lubricant inside. Wolf ammo, btw, is, IMHO, the very worst thing you can feed any handgun, period; pure caca, and dirty as snot.

Please do not do that.
Oil is a dust magnet, and to put it in a mag will almost certainly insure it will cause problems.
And what Alnamvet68 said about Wolf.
