How are the FT feeds jamming? Bolt not quite closing fully?  Bullet getting stuck bolt open plenty?  ???
Yes, the later...mostly open, with the Round pinned in between the Bolt and the Chamber
So tell me again how Trump was worse then the 8 years before .... AND what came after HIM !

When you are finish loading your magazines do you tap or rap the magazine in such a way to have all rounds seated to the rear fully?

You may be looking at the angle at which the round is being fed from the magazine.  Fed lips maybe spread open too much.
Most bullets should feed at 1.2500" unless the nose meplat is sharp or too wide to allow the cartridge to tip into the chamber.

Please be sure everything is clean before doing anything!

Yes, it's something I do unconsciously, every time I load a Mag

Going to load up some basic 10mm rounds, need to make sure my sights are hitting right in case I decide to take it into the woods this year. 

I've been loading some .45 Colt too, and plan on firelapping the barrel so I will have to load the lapping bulelts for that.

Also been playing around with the .45 Super some more, getting some 185gr XTPs to 1570 fps, it's a blast!
10mm + .40 S&W

Some people think I'm paranoid because I have so many guns. With all my guns, what do I have to be paranoid about?

What's the .44 Russian like, compared to .44 Special?  (I'm curious, because I used to have a Ruger SA 41Mag, and I remember hearing that you could shoot .41 Russian in it, for a lighter target load.  I never saw any of it available, and I ended up having to load some of my own light loads for target loads.  I eventually got a US Arms Abilene SA .44Mag, partly so I could shoot .44 Special for light target loads.)

The russian is kinda a special to the 44 special. It was one of the first non heel bulleted designs, if memory serves. I currently reload for, 22 hornet, 222rem, 22250, 6mm rem, 250 savage, 2506, 7mm mauser, 280 rem imp, 7mm weatherby, 308/762x51, 3006, 300 win mag, 300 handh mag, 340 weatherby mag, 338 lapua, 375 handh mag, 416 rem, 505 gibbs, 32 acp, 380 auto, 9mm para, 38 special, 357 mag, 10mm auto, 41 mag, 45 auto, and heavy 45 colt. Lately, its been 10, heavy 45 colt experimenting, and 280 imp, and 6mm rem.

Even lighter recoil than a .44 special. But finding brass for it can be a problem.

Sidewinder

I reload a lot of diff calibers but right now 10mm and getting ready to load some 243 for my grandson.

Well, I have been doing some research for some 45ACP +P load data, as I prepare to put together some premium handloads using Speer 230 grain Gold Dots...My thanks to Sean for verifying some pressure values for the numbers I was gathering!
So I'll be making preparations to start that operation soon.  I know it's not 10mm's  ??? but hey, I just can't help it! ::)
