When a round takes a nose dive when loading in an Autoloader is it mag or slide issue?
There is a similar post in the Autoloader part of the forum regarding Gold Dots and the failure to chamber in the posters handguns.

I am curious if the problem is a magazine caused issue or if it involves the slide and extractor? I've seen Autoloaders of different makes where the round dips down as the slide engages the base of the cartridge and the bullet strikes the front of the magazine causing a jam or strikes the feed ramp pointed down and jams. On one handgun this problem happened with any type of ammo, ball or hollowpoint, bullet weight did not matter, and it was recommended that it be used as a fish weight.

Any ideas, theories, or facts would be welcome.
Thanks
